27. I think their heads are too small to hold that much information

I don't see Thiel becoming a positive OR negative "media figure" in their world.

A big part of it is that he won't seek that kind of attention. Although I could be wrong. I don't see a "President JD Vance" in the cards, but if it happened...God forbid...maybe Thiel would relish a role akin to Stephen Miller, sort of "Dark Lord" of the clown car.

Then again, Russell Vought has that kind of role right now. The media names him by name but I'll bet that if you stop 10 random people on the street and say "Russell Vought" they'll reply "WHO?"
