I don't know why but I've got a sinking feeling in my stomach.

Most of us do - the next four years should be a tour de force of everything that's wrong with our society.

I could guess why:

- Thiel is a founder of Palantir, a.k.a. the private branch of the NSA.

- He also has strong vested interests in the health of hedge funds and the financial industry, as well as strong opinions favoring deregulation.

- He does not believe in global warming or the urgency of combating it.

- His statements in the past have shown lack of respect/consideration for minorities and women.
