Deep South? Park your vehicle in downtown Portland or Seattle with a MAGA bumper sticker and let us know how that works out for you.

That has got to be the dumbest damn thing I heard so far.
I'm equating 2 large American businesses. One claims to be open for debate ideas, and one claims to be fair and balanced.
Damn you people make it so easy.

Fair enough. That seems in line with other tech employers.
What could it be that today's GOP is doing that makes it so unattractive to working professionals?

I don't think that's the right question to ask.
You mentioned tech employers, and rightfully so. The tech industry tends to set up shop in big cities. Big cities also attract a left-leaning population. So, you get big tech companies with an obvious left lean.

Most of your professionals aka desk jockeys in the tech industry are young socialist who've never put in an honest days work with their hands while working up a sweat. They have never been to a communist country, they couldn't give two craps about history, they're all for open borders,they've been brainwashed in the schools and they worship the likes of Venezuela and you need to ask that question?

I hate that I laughed when I saw that....but I did.Here's just one of many examples of how Twitter employees reacted to Musk purchasing Twitter.

Unsurprising. Job security is a major concern for a lot of people.Here's just one of many examples of how Twitter employees reacted to Musk purchasing Twitter.
And also, have you read some of Musk's tweets? How would you feel if you were suddenly employed by someone who tells his employees they all need to work holidays, or risk bankrupcy, and then buys a vanity platform for 44 billion few weeks later.
NEVER has an example been given. So you take it from here.
If you have any examples of censuring of honest, helpful, non-threatening and timely factual posts then do it. Mental brick wall.
Fingers crossed: (Please mention the NYP, Please mention the NYP)

I'm sorry, why would it be unexpected for Fox News donations to go to republican causes? They're a freaking conservative news organization. That's like thinking 50% of CNN donations should be going to the right. And if Twitter claims to be fair and balanced, the vast majority of its political donations going to the left casts easy doubt on that claim.

They are freaking out over not being able to control the agenda as is the EU, current US administration along with the rest of the establishment. Free speech as in being able to voice opposing opinions threatens the narrative.Unsurprising. Job security is a major concern for a lot of people.

Most people live in big cities. Why do no big cities except for San Diego have Republican governments anymore?

Have you spent time in a communist country? I have. Do you know of any countries with open borders because I don't.

Many of you keep running your yaps about, "freedom of speech", as if the US Constitution somehow attaches to private organizations. News flash, it doesn't.

Here's a better question. Why are most big cities crime ridden crap holes and why does BLM / Antifa never riot in Republican controlled towns.
Twitter does not claim to be fair and balanced Fox does.

Why do most small towns have a conservative population? I don't know if I have an answer for that. Perhaps city life is more attractive to liberals. Perhaps being in a city, and thus around a lot of liberal people, makes one more likely to be liberal.
Well, whether Fox News seems fair and balanced obviously depends on where you sit on the political spectrum. But it would be silly for Fox News to claim that it is politically unbiased, just as it would be silly for CNN to claim the same.

Me neither. I do know people at tech companies, though, and I'm pretty sure they are nothing like how you describe them. They're working, making ends meet, and paying taxes. Not complaining much.
I wonder why you feel you're so superior to them. Is it really because you spent time in a communist country?

Tech employees are mostly young professionals that work in large Democrat cities. They have never spent time in a communist country yet they admire the likes of Cuba and Venezuela because they are clueless to history and reality.

How are they freaking out? Are they like, stockpiling arms? Keep talking about the need for a new civil war? Do they threaten to kidnap or hang elected officials? Storm any assemblies of democratically elected representatives? Plan to just ignore vote counts?
Oh no that's those other guys.

Uh, I gave you an example directly below the part that you quoted.
I've personally been censored for my viewpoints on websites that should not have an obvious political bias, like Halo Waypoint (ugh).
Also, New York Post! Because you asked for it.

I don't know anyone who admires Cuba and/or Venezuela. Where do you meet these people?
I do know a lot of people admire repressive autocrats, though.
