"To the contrary, voters are on average more likely to defect to the radical right when mainstream parties adopt anti-immigration positions, a pattern that has been particularly pronounced for established RRPs."

Abundant finance and a dependence on scarce skilled labor helped create a culture in tech where professional employees have more voice and more exit options than elsewhere, even without formal representation. The goal here is to roll that back - the functional equivalent of union busting.

This to me is one of the central stories about current US politics. The tech barons who decisively threw their support behind Trump wanted commercial benefits, of course; but even more, they wanted to discipline their own employees. That’s the real content of all the anti-DEI stuff.
