`Supporting` someone who supports Trump? You do realize he's not their employee, he's wealthy, and most certainly wouldn't change his mind if YC or all of you disagreed with him, right?

This is all political/"moral outrage" theater.

Only if you presume the point is to change Thiel's mind - which it clearly isn't.

Right, since that can't possibly be the point, then the point is to demonstrate moral outrage at someone's political position by proxy of YC?
