25. Nate Silver Has...

Sold himself out. And the fact that he’s gay makes this all the more disappointing - and baffling; he’s helping the very same people who’d like to stone him to death for being what he is. Same goes for Peter Thiel* himself, but worse: With this venture, he’s not just helping the people who’d just as soon spit on him. The asshole also donates money, directly.

Seriously, how any LGBTQ person can support/help out the Reichwing douchebags is beyond me. That’s like “Chickens for the Colonel”, “Roaches for Raid” or, “Slugs for salt.”

*Thiel is originally from Germany. He, of all goddamned people, should know what Reichwingers are capable of…and who the first victims of that crowd are. Seriously, did this shit stain fall asleep in his history class while in high school? 😡🤷?♂️🤦?♂️
