That's just a convenient excuse for the consequences of one's actions.
Thiel doesn't "agree to disagree" about the various atrocities of the Trump administration. He simply doesn't care about the people being affect by those policies. He is weighing whatever personal benefit he saw in supporting Trump higher than those harms, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with criticising someone for being egotistical.
Beyond that, the idea that "you have to support every plank..." is a strawman: In a two-party system, you never agree completely with either party. Therefore, such a requirement hasn't ever been a thing, nor is it today.
- blackflame 7y ago"He simply doesn't care about the people being affected by those policies" - I'm pretty sure he's directly affected by LGBTQ policies but as you said, in his calculus, the pros outweigh the cons.
- lonelappde 7y agoThiel isn't LBTQ. He's G. And he doesn't have children and didn't get married until long after legalization in the US, and didn't get married in the US anyway.
- blackflame 7y agoOh thanks for clarifying, I thought he was all 62
