Peter Thiel (CEO of Palantir) realised the religious right are a fanatical base of support if you can get them on your side. So that’s what he’s trying to do.
Oh no, it’s even worse. He actually believes in the religious stuff he’s talking about. Not just a manipulative schemer, a true believer.
I’m not sure of that.
He certainly sounds like he does. But what he says is just a little too out there, and too self serving, for someone that clever to easily convince me they actually believe it.
