Old school Ron Paul supporter here.

I don't agree with all his libertarian views, but I don't approve of endless war, and he's right.

Why not? Just move the social conservatism to state / local level. People will vote with their feet, and you'll have less neighbors you don't agree with.

Libertarianism isn't self-sustaining. Succinctly, it doesn't win.

When you're up against people who use force and fraud, you only win if you're willing to throw down the gauntlet.

That's the difference between Ron Paul and Donald Trump.

I agree. That's why I'm supporting Trump.

But if you have a self-selected neighborhood of like-minded high-IQ freedom-minded people, you can get away with more freedom than in a vast empire dominated by low-IQ brainwashed government slaves.

Everyone moving into this neighborhood had to be voted in and sign a contract. The contract will include payment of voluntary fees / taxes for common defense, etc. Anyone initiating aggression (including advocating socialism) will be "physically removed" and lose their security deposit, as per agreement.

Trump doesn't get much credit for being the first actual anti-war president in living memory.
