You’re not breaking anything to me. But if you’ve been paying attention, the current Libertarian Party has very little in common with actual libertarianism. Maybe it’s time to drive it back towards it’s founding ideals?
Furthermore, the core ideas of individual liberty and personal freedom are good core values that both movements share.
To be clear, I’m not speaking of a quick fix for 2022 or a short term gain for 2024. I’m suggesting a big picture plan with long term goals.
This would have to be an organic, ground-level takeover. Every four years the LP makes a big deal out of running a National presidential ticket, but at a more local level, it’s largely the Wild West of political candidates. I’ve lived in seven states and in every one of them, the local LP was usually just grateful to have someone listening to them. So the opening is definitely there for a large influx of motivated, politically active, civic-minded individuals to come in a begin to take the reigns of the whole cart over.
It wouldn’t even be a hostile takeover but rather an “energy infusion” to a legitimate third party contender for those Patriots who are completely disgusted by the Dems and the GOP. Think Gary Johnson, except we actually know where Aleppo is and why it matters.
Again, this would not be a cakewalk and it certainly wouldn’t get the sort of instant gratification results that some people are looking for. But it offers a long term, realistic path to begin the process of actually getting our hat in the ring and our name in the fight.
I'm pretty disenchanted with the libertarian party. Yes, it's easy from the standpoint of getting a new home quickly, but theres so much wrong with that platform. I'm writing up some ideas for a new party platform, love to get your thoughts: https://thedonald.win/p/11RhKGuxsq/
Also, I'm feeling in the mood for writing out the planks of a proper America First Patriot Libertarian Party, based largely around the principles of the Declaration of Independence.
I hate to break it to you nationalist populism has very little in common with the libertarians.

I can get behind that.
