I know the Thiel history. I think they’ll lose their grips on Vance, should he become president.
Eventually, the techtheocrats will come into direct conflict with the christonationalists, and I suspect Vance will side with the millions of evangelicals, over tech utopia. Vance may eventually get pushed out by a more charismatic figurehead, but who is that? Right now, the comically on the nose Bond villains are ascendant, but eventually, they’ll have to reckon with the true believer religious nuts.
