Assuming our opinion is like above, but against Trump, do we have justification to attack Trump and Thiel based on their political opinion?
When you start bragging about sexually assaulting women, advocating violence against your opponents, and feeding the flames of racial tension you've moved well beyond mere opinion.
It's bewildering that Thiel would support such a character now given how Thiel won't "suffer" from Trump not being in the White House.
It was under Bill Clinton that this entire tech party got started: The commercialization of the Internet. Laws favorable to the start-up investment scene. Freeing up investment banks to allocate capital more freely.
I just don't get Thiel's motivation here. You don't want a total lunatic in power, you want someone you can talk to and persuade.
Trump is an exceptionally flawed candidate, but I encourage everyone to consider that perhaps their perception of him is to some debatable degree (a big degree in my opinion) due to people out there trying very hard and spending a lot of money to portay him as "literally hitler"
Trump doesn’t bring race to anything. He’s just called “racist” by people who don’t understand the term “illegal alien”, or that Islam is not a race.
Trump said these terrible things a decade ago. A decade ago Clinton and Obama were strongly, and publicly, against gay marriage. A decade ago Clinton praised sen. Robert Byrd as her “mentor”, a former KKK member, and noted racist. Go back further, and you have tapes of her laughing at the victims of her husband and destroying their lives. The thing with Hillary though, is that you don’t have to go that far with her, if you stop ignoring the fact she should be in jail right now, and not running for office.
I have no idea where you get your news from but the wild assumptions you're making are absurd.

You really need to stop listening to people like Alex Jones.
The dirt on Clinton is well known: Her hawkish attitude to war, her enthusiastic use of drones, her embrace of free-trade policies like TPP, and so on.
The dirt on Trump is way, way worse, and more keeps coming to light: What has he paid in taxes? What is he hiding? Why do his businesses keep failing in a spectacular way? Why is he constantly being sued by thousands of people? Why does he flip out at the slightest provocation?
Trump isn't the worst human being in history, but he's the worst major party candidate for president in the last hundred years.
If Thiel was supporting Romney, Cruz, hell, any of the last round candidates in the last twenty years, nobody would be upset. Why he chose to get in bed with this particular turd, I don't know.
"Collapsing on a warm day" from pneumonia? Seriously? You've got some issues if you're busting on someone for making every effort to show up to an event relating to September 11th.

Trump is a train-wreck in progress. If you're tied to that wagon you're in for some disappointment, win or lose.
Why would you even talk about Trump’s health records as a Clinton supporter. First it’s not pneumonia, then it’s pneumonia. She collapses from it, then hugs a child after it miraculously gets through the Secret Service, even though the disease can be contagious. Pneumonia can cause serious complications, Clinton doesn’t tell you about it, and now you praise her for how strong she is? Why would you do that?
Who cares what Bush did. He’s not running for president, why would that be even remotely relevant to the discussion.
The only bad thing you managed to say about Trump is that he’s a wild card, while completely ignoring, or trying to awkwardly justify, that Clinton committed crimes, and showed utter incompetence while in office.
The FBI, however, has concluded that there was no crime. So hey, take it up with them.
If you think Trump's the candidate to vote for that says a lot about your judgement. Many people are voting for Hillary simply because there's no reasonable alternative.
