"Peter Thiel is (allegedly) having second thoughts.
The billionaire, right-wing megadonor reportedly has decided that he’s done bankrolling political candidates because Republicans are too focused on fighting cultural battles over abortion and transgender rights. …
All of this, if true, does raise a nagging question for Thiel and company: 'What did you expect?'

"For years, these donors funded candidates who rushed to embrace every meme and narrative of the culture war: from transgender bathroom etiquette and pronouns to variously nebulous and nonsensical attacks on 'wokeness.' They backed candidates who publicly pledged to outlaw abortion, and supported Trumpists and Trump-like candidates who had played on racial distrust and gender anxieties."

They didn't expect the leopard to eat *their* faces.
@ScottSoCal You're right, they didn't expect that, for sure. Such folly on their part.
