Looking at STEM jobs. Why are scientists, mathematicians, programmers so liberal, but engineers, not?

Conservatives are practical

I thought Engineers were gay?

>not employed is considered in occupation
>it's one of the top for Democrats
Even the most /pol/ hating individual knows what demographic this is.

You can tell how people with a certain job will lean politically with the following method;
If the job is useful, and worth while the employee will lean to the right.
If the job is useless, and worthless the employee will lean to the left.
This formula works every time.
Jose Roberts
Not every time, I am studying mathematics, arguably the most useless field, but I lean to the right.
Xavier Brooks
Wow, you caught me off guard.

>among the most democratic occupations
>not employed

academia - or the intelligentsia if you like - is the faction of society most densely populated by liberal minded people, "science based" indoctrinates (i.e marxists) and revolutionaries
engineers are not academics; they are builders
actual conservative people (not many exist anymore) tend to prefer tactile, tangible and traditional livings like building, fixing and farming, all of which are - as it were - subsets of engineering.

That was just a MEME you dip.
Also, engineers can feel the weight of their math. One slip and it is all bye bye. Also scientists tend to outsmart things that hurt conservatives. They know vaccines. They know robotics. They know stuff that makes life easy.
As for math, they really, honestly give no fucks. We try to protect them from themselves and others soley because they are literal autism gods and if they so choose to turn their heads to any other profession their sheer mental power tends to render whatever their focus is on into something so perfect that it makes everyone unemployed.
Programmers are mathematicians with autism under "Somewhat" a control.
An engineer is working at his desk in his office. His cigarette falls off the desk into the wastebasket, causing the papers within to burst into flames. The engineer looks around, sees a fire extinguisher, grabs it, puts out the flames, and goes back to work.
A physicist is working at his desk in another office and the same thing happens. He looks at the fire, looks at the fire extinguisher, and thinks "Fire requires fuel plus oxygen plus heat. The fire extinguisher will remove both the oxygen and the heat in the wastebasket. Ergo, no fire." He grabs the extinguisher, puts out the flames, and goes back to work.
A mathematician is working at his desk in another office and the same thing happens. He looks at the fire, looks at the fire extinguisher, and thinks for a minute, says "Ah! A solution exists!" and goes back to work.
