Facing the unfathomable possibility of a President Donald Trump, Silicon Valley donors have spent nearly $8 million helping Hillary Clinton to get elected this year — still far shy of the $21 million reportedly given to Obama in 2012 by tech entrepreneurs and venture capitalists, but way more than what the industry has given to the Donald. And as the New York Times notes today, in the wake of Peter Thiel's $1.25 million donation to Trump and Trump-loving super PACs, tech folk are being far more vocal about this year's election than ever before — and mostly it's a resounding call to defeat Trump and elect Clinton.

The support for Hillary from the tech sector hasn't been overwhelming perhaps in part because she has pointed out the wage and job protection issues presented by gig-economy companies like Uber and Instacart, and vocalized some apprehension about Airbnb as well and its impacts on housing markets. President Obama, meanwhile, has enjoyed an active fan base in Silicon Valley and has said himself that he may be considering becoming a VC when he's out of office, as Fortune reported in June.

Hillary still enjoys far more fans in tech than Trump, though, and the Times points to groups like Nerdz4Hillary, which is attempting to raise $100,000 in small donations to help Clinton in the final weeks of the campaign.

The paper also points to AOL co-founder Steve Case who wrote an op-ed endorsing Clinton in the Washington Post in late September. He tells the Times, "I always focused on policy and avoided politics. But if Trump were elected president, I would be disappointed in myself for not acting.”

Recode finds that Google staffers have given over $300,000 to the Clinton campaign in the last three months alone, via Federal Election Commission records. And they say "Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and his wife Cari Tuna committed $20 million last month to boost Clinton and other Democratic campaigns," with more from Moskovitz on the way.

Meanwhile, apart from Thiel and that Oculus jerk Palmer Luckey, support for Trump's campaign has been slim to none in the tech world.

Maybe because to be successful in tech you typically need to be a rational human being?

Says Y Combinator president and Thiel coworker Sam Altman, via Twitter, "I think [Trump is] absuvie, erratic, and prone to fits or rage. I think he is unfit to be President and would be a threat to national security." But, he says, that doesn't mean he's going to fire Thiel.
