He supported a dude whose platform was mostly right-leaning populism. If he was just supporting Republicans because they were the closest to Libertarian ideals, why would support the dude driving the party away from Libertarian ideals?

And continue supporting the person. I checked Thiel headlines. He’s working with Don Jr now against Liz Cheney for a Trump approved replacement. This is just recent headlines too.

Thanks for your insightful comments

Why? Presumably because he preferred that to the alternatives, none of which were obviously more libertarian -- pathetic old neoliberal dinosaur warmongers Clinton and Bush!
