Don't Empower Google

Posted September 21, 2026

When you patronize a company, you are giving power to that company. If you spend money or attention with a company, you are helping them advance their mission.

Google may have started intending to be neutral, but it has become a biased company that is unrepresentative of Americans on the right.

To begin with, the vast majority of their HQ employee campaign donations go to Democrats (96%!) according to the San Francisco Chronicle. That in itself shows that their staff are very liberal, which should be concerning for how extreme the bias is. If it were something more reasonable, even 60%-40%, that might be OK. But 96% is extremely liberally biased. By supporting the company, you are supporting people who are against you politically. They are using your support to campaign against you.

Beyond that, a lot of their US employees are non-citizens, such as H-1B visa holders, who do not hold American values. Being a non-citizen in and of itself isn't bad in theory, but in practice their values are not aligned with American values, and the net effect is fewer American citizens getting high quality jobs. While some immigration can be a good thing, and we should not be racist or mean-spirited, the fact is these tech companies are greedily abusing H-1B visas to intentionally lower wages that would otherwise go to Americans. American software engineers are finding themselves a tiny minority at offices in their own country, surrounded mostly by those from India and China. It's troubling that many American computer scientists are being overlooked for jobs at companies in their own country. Further, a large amount of the salaries paid to immigrants in the US end up leaving our country via remittances. Not only is Google paying less than they otherwise would to Americans, but that money is leaving our economy to benefit foreign markets, not supporting our businesses here. This directly harms the economy of the United States.

Many of the immigrants are generally good people. Yet they weren't raised with American civics and American history classes, like our American high school students. As a consequence, they don't have the same support for the American way of life, in particular the First Amendment (the US is one of the most pro-free speech countries in the world, whereas other countries sadly have a lot of restrictions on free speech). And when it comes to US history, there's either a lot of ignorance, or worse, anti-American beliefs. Over time, many of these immigrants will become citizens and have children of their own. At that point, they become voters. On the whole, H1B immigrants and their families tend to vote Democrat. To give some specifics, Indian Americans voted roughly 70% for Democrats, only 30% for Republicans. Democracy is premised on one person, one vote, but immigration is shifting those votes towards Democrats, not Republicans. The problem isn't racial, it's values. The Indian American statistic is just one pertinent example since they are the world's most populous country; hypothetically if the US had a large amount of Finnish immigrants who overwhelmingly voted for Democrats, we'd be against that too. The right's political power is intentionally being attacked through immigration.

Google has historically discriminated in hiring with internships particularly for those of certain skin colors. They have had internships exclusively for black, Hispanic, or Native American students (to avoid being clearly race-based, they also included those with disabilities, which technically includes other races, but only if you're disabled). They have had DEI policies that worked against non-minorities, or anyone who would prefer an equal playing field. As Martin Luther King Jr. once said, we want a country where we're judged by the content of our character, not the color of our skin. It is concerning for the future of our country when major companies discriminate on the basis of race. It's only the recent Trump administration's fight against DEI that caused Google to somewhat roll back these controversial programs, according to Fox News.

Your search engine is your front door to the internet. Especially now with AI LLM answers appearing in search results, it's more important than ever that your search engine shares your views and helps you, rather than disrespecting you and your family.

When you use Rightsta, you are supporting a company whose mission is aligned with your interests. You should feel good about that.
