I think you're crazy. We are in dire need of more people willing to give money to tech ventures that will help North America's GDP growth. Let's not try and interpret the political stuff - Losing a venture capitalist like Thiel is a direct hit to our ability to innovate. Hell, the guy is giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to ambitious, smart High School students. That's not something to overlook.

Thiel supported Trump and built an escape plan. It's not that he doesn't have a skin in the game, but if the game turns bad, he can bail and leave "us" behind.

I see where you're coming from. But I won't weigh someone's politics when determining if they are a good American or not. Politics are too complex to interpret good and bad, but giving money to tech ventures is decidedly good for our economy.
