    Thiel told The Atlantic that he had hoped Trumpā€™s election would force a national reckoning, that someone needed to tear things down before the country could rebuild.

    Despite his disappointment that Trump did not usher in a revolution, Thiel said he still wouldnā€™t call himself a ā€œNever Trumper.ā€

    These are the only relevant points. Fuck Peter Thiel and fuck this ā€œAw shucks! Boy is there egg on my face!ā€ routine.

    Peter Theil hasnā€™t had a sudden ā€œcome to Jesusā€ moment. Heā€™s just decided that Trump isnā€™t the right fascist for the job.

      A quieter guy with a bigger stick is what heā€™ll be looking for next time. Yeah, fuck this guy. If post-Reagan America has got the rich BAAAAAWing because theyā€™re just not rich enough yet, thereā€™s nothing left for them that will satisfy but literal royal status.

        What part of royal status is missing? Wars on a whim?

        I think once they have anything they want, they either need a new dick measuring tool, or else truly want to hurt others to feel better.

        Billionaires are just super fucked up and need to go.
