If the billionaire tech investor and noted libertarian Peter Thiel really does leave Silicon Valley for Los Angeles to escape what he views as an increasing intolerance for conservatives, the city’s growing community of conservatives will be there to welcome him.
Among LA’s right-leaning residents are the Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro, the political commentator Dave Rubin and the blogger Bill Whittle. There’s also the former members of the defunct Friends of Abe, a secretive group of Hollywood conservatives that fractured in 2016 over the candidacy of Donald Trump.
PragerU is one of a cluster of LA-based digital media organisations in the conservative movement that have, according to Knowles “a disproportionate amount of influence on the right”. This makes it the perfect place for Thiel to build his new right-leaning media business, first reported by BuzzFeed in January. The plan is to create a cable news network that would compete with Fox News and “foster discussion and community around conservative topics”, according to the Wall Street Journal.
“It’s a sign of the time that Peter Thiel is heading down here because there’s been a conservative renaissance in Los Angeles,” Knowles said.

And thank you Guardian, for informing me about this so-called conservative renaissance going on in my city.

I can’t speak for conservatism, but Christianity is definitely alive and well in L.A.
Prayers that people like Thiel will come to know the Lord. <3
Peter, Peter, Peter, you are merely jumping out of the frying and into the fire. L.A., really? How about Texas, of any of the other southern states? If you really want to escape, L.A. is not the escape destination you should be seeking.
Elon Musk/SpaceX is also here so there still needs to be a taste of that tech world...I’m thinking?
The only way California is going to change is if they are hit hard economically. Let them try to survive with their radicalism & illegals.
Bottom line
Screw Hell A it’s a hell hole
No trees
No nature
Beaches are nice but polluted
Everything there is a giant mall and the people are plastic
Hollyweird and the porn industry corrupts souls
Northern cal is where it’s at
Have to be specific though. Forget San Jose. It sucks too.
Good counties. Marin Sonoma Napa contra costa alameda
Redwood trees. Incredible parks and nature. People are not slimy and fake with fake lips and tits
Liberal as hell. But Nice liberals who are mostly environmentalists
My county. Marin. 91 percent parks. It’s epic
Going with the cub scouts to camp at Dillon beach today. Near Pt Reyes
We don’t lock doors and I leave my car keys on the floor
Of course the company I work for is headquartered in LA
Lotta money there. The weather is good
Ok nuff sed / rant off
Jesus. Really????
What do you mean?
Are you praising Jesus?
I am stunned by your ridiculous post. Peter thiel is doing a good thing and youn go full mentally deranged.
If you think forcing homosexuality on America is a good thing . . .
As for Mr Thiel's personal life, I'd rather have him at my barbecue than Paul Ryan or Jeb Bush or any other NeverTrumper.
Ditto!
And thanks for link to Cali thread.
