Who gets to pick what's 'hateful' and 'supremacist' though? Did you think of that?



Google. Is this a trick question or something?


More specifically, the political party with the most supporters at Google (currently democratic party, but could change)


They gave slightly more to republicans last time around: https://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/pacgot.php?cycle=2018&cmte=...


Yeah but that doesn't tell you anything about the party alignment of employees.

1 rich republican Google employee donating $500K vs 100 middle class democrat Google employees donating $4K will yield those results you posted, yet the demographics would indicate 1% republican.


Who do you think?

Hint: If they go the Facebook route it will be various 'anti-hate' orgs which have openly called people like Trump and Ben Shapiro Nazis.


Why do you assume they didn't? People make decisions. That's how decisions are made the world over.
