> This is surprising mostly because Thiel is a libertarian. Where do you get this characterization from? His own words? Thiel has been arming secretive states with high-tech software for a while now. Thiel's prior actions revealed him to be a statist. Supporting a candidate who wants to build a large border wall and wants to kick people out of the country based on their thoughts (religion, for example) while claiming to be a libertarian is laughable (I hope you are laughing now too).
