This is just a wild guess, but for awhile it seemed like every US company from Doritos to Bank of America was posting corporate social media in support of activist causes. There is a certain strain of thought in the activist community that failing to be an activist is to be complicit with existing oppression. I even saw some companies get pushback for being late/not being enthusiastic enough in their expressions of support, to the point of resignations under pressure.

It takes courage to make a statement like this in the current political context. I have found the crypto industry in general to be more open-minded than other subsets of tech


>I've found it very odd how freely and openly siding with a political candidate has become the norm since 2016 at the tech firms I've worked in

Have found this to be the trend in general or the trend for supporters of certain parties/ideals only?

oh in my experience, definitely one sided against trump and anyone who voted for him.
