“During a Fox Business appearance on Friday, the 50-year-old Paypal co-founder opened up about what it was like to be a Trump supporter in the notoriously liberal tech hub in northern California.

'You know, of course, I got heat,' the only major name in Silicon Valley to back Trump said.

'When people are unanimously on one side, that tells you not that they've all figured out the truth but that they're in a sort of totalitarian place, that they're in a one party state where they're not allowed to have dissenting views,' he added. …”

If Thiel has/had any thing to do with paypal's anti gun position, then he is not opposed to totalitarianist theory. He is only concerned with the degree of totalitarianism. The principle is that if we cannot respect and defend others' liberty, we will not long keep our own. Eventually the oppressor will be oppressed.

Bingo. Democrats (progressives, leftists, whatever you call them) are the greatest threat to freedom mankind has ever encountered.
