But in 1995 or 2000 tech workers also skewed young and college educated and, at least according to my own recollections and a couple of authors I mentioned elsewhere in this thread, their politics did not seem very leftist then. What changed? |

Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama were not radically divergent from each other politically and socially. Where social policy diverged, it was obviously electoral, not personal.

We have a populist rebellion against the status quo and educated youts aren’t Ayn Rand, Goldwater or Milton Friedman fans anymore.
