Peter Thiel in Manhattan on January 7, 2016. The billionaire’s Promethean theology might sound bizarre to outsiders, but it appears to be widely shared among the tech elite. Photo / Andrew White, The New York Times Peter Thiel says Greta Thunberg represents the spirit of the Antichrist. It’s more than just a hyperbolic slur, writes Michelle Goldberg.

What’s left — besides finding a Democrat to run in his place, now that he has dropped out — is figuring out what, if anything, can be learned from this debacle. As you probably know by now, Politico published a story Monday about a woman, Jenny Racicot, who says that Platner raped her. According to Racicot, they’d been romantically involved, on and off, for mo
