You're right that it's just a vocal minority. But management has sided with them repeatedly, such that the minority now rules the roost there. Without anything to check them or push back they're rapidly getting on with the task of making their products politically biased.

I didn't see it on HN yet (maybe it's here and got flagged), but this story went around on Reddit yesterday:

Google are adjusting one of their AI APIs to refuse to label men and women in images, because it's "biased".

Clearly that's a minority viewpoint, but it's being implemented formally in their products. It's safe to assume the entire company is working towards the destruction not just of the Republican party but its entire worldview.
