From my experience, people with computer knowledge are usually more progressive
Let me tell you about a time long ago, when it was harder to get on the internet and no one had smartphones and the internet was populated by users who were a whole lot more intelligent and reasonable than what we see today.
I was there. I can verify that the abnormal insanity we see in our politics today began around the same time everyone started walking around with the internet in their hands.
That’s true until you hit advanced IT like Networking, Cyber Security and Systems careers. I’m progressive but most of the older dudes I work with are Def far right Trump supporters. We get paid significantly more as well so you know how money and conservatism goes.
I think its really an age thing a bit in IT. Where I am (large talcom), a lot of the old timers are pretty Conservative, but also, they don’t seem to know jack about any of the new sort of systems and tech we are using to upgrade the network. Thats all for the younger folks, who are also much more profressive.
Yeah we had a long time network guy leave because he didn’t want to learn ansible and didn’t trust dnac for firmware upgrades lol. I’ve been running them since my 2nd year. He hated automation. Made me manually upgrade switches my entire first year.
You still need computer knowledge to do that

Calling someone dumb because they cant do what is easy for you to do is dumb
