Thiel is unhappy with the Republican Party's focus on hot-button U.S. cultural issues, said one of the sources, a business associate, citing abortion and restrictions on which bathrooms transgender students can use in schools as two examples.

Thiel came to this conclusion by late 2022, the sources said. He believes Republicans are making a mistake in focusing on cultural flashpoints and should be more concerned with spurring U.S. innovation - a major issue for him - and competing with China, the business associate said.

Take this with a grain of salt.

The latest in a series of monumental L's for right wingers this week if true

GOP going through their “It’s not a phase mom!” era rn.

trans ally Peter Thiel ✊

truly a contrarian

alright

Edit: they always backtrack so...

if only the majority of americans were as percipient as peter thiel

Thiel is out of touch with the GOP’s base. Their base WANTS to fight cultural issues such as trans rights, abortion, and black people.

They care far less about geopolitical relations.

Outside of “woke” cultural issues. What the GOP’s base primarily cares about is paying less in taxes.

Real

I think all Americans fall into that category.

Nope not buying the bullshit for one minute. All the candidates he backed were insane culture warriors. What happened is those guys lost and his project failed, so he's retreating.

That's pure spin, culture war is what he wanted just look at the people he backed.

That was coincidence, he was backing those guys for their economic policies. Masters was a big Club for Growth guy

Ironic coming from him
