You're correct, not all Trump supporters are racist, sexist, or bigoted. This means that Thiel, as a Trump supporter, is not necessarily racist, sexist, or bigoted; so there is no need to remove him to promote inclusivity.
This kind of black and white vitriol is what has lead to this election being as awful as it is.
- bcg1 10y agoIt doesn't matter if Thiel is any of those -ists. And frankly, to me, it doesn't even matter if Trump himself is any of those -ists. The real issue is that Trump and his campaign have actively tried to appeal to the -ist nature of people for political gain. And Thiel's donation is a tacit approval of either the tactics or the philosophy itself.
