Yeah. Vance has few voter fans, and can't bully the GOP. Thiel has money but no other influence.

Conservatives are happy to take Thiel’s blood money but they find his lifestyle objectionable … a gay man married to another gay man doesn’t go over well with them.

Thiel is not as unpopular as the Musk Rat -- but would be if he didn't keep his mouth shut.

Except few are closet cases…

The anti-gay rhetoric is just red meat for the base. Most of the leadership, including Trump, are okay with it, and are, in fact, gay themselves.

Definitely, agree that people won't accept what they have in mind willingly, but I'm concerned about how quickly invasive technology is advancing. We aren't there yet, but things like Palantir make me sit up and take notice. www.theverge.com/decoder-podc...
