I can't say I remember him or his convention address

Explaining why he is moving his influential investment firm from the Silicon Valley, entrepreneur and venture capitalist Peter Thiel says it’s one thing for a culture to be “quite liberal” and another for it to be “totalitarian.”
Thiel, a cofounder of PayPal and an early Facebook investor, was virtually alone among his colleagues as one of President Trump’s biggest supporters in 2016.
He acknowledged in an interview Friday with the Fox Business Network that he “got heat” for his stance.
“Fault Line: How a Seismic Shift in Culture is Threatening Free Speech” is available now at the WND Superstore.
Thiel, who spoke during prime time at the Republican National Convention in 2016, said that while he doesn’t mind being in a place “where most people are liberal or most people have views different from my own,” it’s “something different when it goes from a large majority having one way to it being almost unanimous … because things are never unanimous.”
“When people are unanimously on one side, that tells me not that they’ve all figured out the truth but that they are in sort of a totalitarian place, that they are in a one-party state where they are not allowed to have dissenting views,” Thiel told Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo.

He made sure to tell us he was gay again and the conservatives should just stop pushing cultural and social issues.
Really getting sick of the California exodus. You broke it, you pay for it. Don’t come to my state and screw it up too.
Silicon Valley is in a funk. Haven’t made any significant advances for years. Maybe it’s because they don’t tolerate different viewpoints.
Supposedly... 😎🤔☺
Come out to one of the many hi-tech communities in Fly-Over Country and build an alternative to Silicon Valley. It’s time.
“As Thiel ditches Silicon Valley for L.A. - Locals Tout Conservative Revival”
Welcome home Peter!
LA going through a conservative revival? Yeah, okee dokee.
Maybe this is what is controlling Silicon Valley nowadays.
It was when Republicans embraced homosexuality and Trump was so relieved that the crowd didn’t boo him.
The Republicans moved to the left:
Liberal virtue: The loving embrace of depravity.
I do agree with him...if you don’t agree with Sillycon Valley (yes, my take on it) people, they get hateful.

The key is venture capital. And you can spend your life trying to coax a Thiel or two to show up, but they have a weird little cult lifestyle: they don’t like to drive very far to check on their companies.
That, in a nutshell, is the real reason everything is concentrated in the Santa Clara Valley.
So you have to do it on your own. You might get one or two of them, not much more.
Phoenix did it in the ‘60s with the Phoenix 40. Austin sorta kinda did it with a few offshoots from UT and then an influx of Stupid Valley outsourcing (Apple and Intel) back in the 90s.
But it can be done, and the price differential will make you a worldbeater.
OK, perhaps I didn’t remember a queer

What a nice way you have of saying that. We are much better off with the Peter Thiels of the world in our coalition.
