Bathroom bills are the highest expression of the modern US right wing: freedom and liberty for
me, but not for
you. Endless forgiveness and acceptance for
me, Old Testament fire and brimstone for
you. Religious freedom from things that are offensive to
me, belittling as "PC police run mad" whenever something offends
you. A nation built on the backs of immigrants like
me, which now has to keep out all the immigrants like
you.
Lest you think I joke, this is literally what Donald Trump espouses: Mike Pence, his running mate, gets to make mistakes and be forgiven. Hillary Clinton makes mistakes? LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP!

And by endorsing that mess, Thiel basically forfeits any moral high ground he might think he holds.
