Agreed. Thiel wasn't playing realpolitik at all. He is adamantly anti-democratic in his political views and appreciated Trump precisely because he lined up neatly with his corporatist-authoritarian views. Thiel has unusual politics that don't fit neatly along the right-left spectrum and lucked into a candidate that matched them more closely than anyone who had come before. |

That's because it's more of a grid. You have 2 axis: Authoritarian/Libertarian, Economic Left/Economic Right.
If you're looking at it as a line, all sorts of things "don't fit neatly".
