Then why the fuck are you voting republican? That's some libertarian shit if I ever heard it.
So I'm gonna have to clarify some definitions here to answer that. A Republican party member may be either a RINO, an economic conservative, a traditional Conservative, or some combination of the above. These (I mean, apart from RINO) are right-wing values - economical growth and honoring tradition.
Libertarianism is the celebration of freedom - this is neither right nor left wing, it is "south" or "down", and is opposed to Authoritarianism. Both Right and Left wings can go either Liberal or Authoritarian. The current Left wing in America is unbelievably authoritarian.
The current motion of the "Republican Party" puts it very safely Right and Below Center - conservative libertarianism.
In addition to that, President Trump is the absolute best libertarian candidate who's ever existed. He's for equality, he's for freedom, he's for avoiding unnecessary involvement in foreign international affairs. And as soon as there's a hint of his libertarian side being taken advantage of, the boot comes down fast and decisively. There will be freedom, and those who wish to partake are welcome. Those who wish to harm our freedoms are not.
Long answer short - I'm voting Republican because the Republicans are Libertarian.
laughs in one year in prison for burning flag which isn't hurting anyone and also strong border in which some illegals are peaceful and do not hurt anyone
I don't follow that at all, sorry.
Are you saying there's currently, or plans to create, a one-year imprisonment for flag burning? I'd argue that is a declaration of war against the flag in question. Wartime enemies are no longer letting me live my life in peace, so "live and let live" is out the window.
Illegal immigrants are by definition harmful, so again "live and let live" is out the window. Our economics are geared towards our known numbers. We can adjust up or down as necessary to accommodate legal immigration and give ourselves a margin of error, but if someone comes over and works on the down-low for cheap then they drive down wages and increase strain on social systems, which are acts of harm against the freedom of workers and the systems we've built for ourselves.
