When people hear ambiguous things that make them happy, they often imagine that whoever they deem the hero at the moment agrees with them on everything and would do exactly what they would do, regardless of what the truth might be.

I would be very surprised if Thiel (who professes to be a libertarian) were much of a fan of the New Deal.

If he's a libertarian, one wonders whether his endorsement of a candidate who is a protectionist and for a strong central government is sincere.
