Conservatives in Silicon Valley feel alienated, according to a new study.
The survey, conducted by Lincoln Network, found conservatives generally feel targeted and are becoming increasingly more uncomfortable at work.

But this data suggested that this is indeed the case and it’s probably worse than anybody thought.”
“We had 23 longer-form conversations,” he said. “One person said he was targeted by his manager because he was a delegate to the Republican Convention.
