Would the Trump-supporting programmers you know be fine having "Trump Social Media Platform" as the latest job on their resume?

I'd guess fear of ostracism in mainstream tech would filter out more people than actual politics.

Regardless of your politics, you should never avoid doing something you believe in just because someone might dislike you for it.

My health insurance is tied to my employer. I have more to risk than being disliked by building the next e-commerce platform fo r Trump Steaks.

If the dislike translates into being jobless, you bet I would be keeping my trap shut.
