I made a throw away post to my friends joking about the bear that got "redpilled" the other day, and a guy I know who always talking about being libertarian responds with this:
"thats not a red pill though. trump is fucking trash. supports red flag laws, weapon bans, patriot act, internet censorship, invasion of privacy, he's a self imposed nationalist- nah, he's no better than anything the blue team was going to present."
A little while later another one I know posts:
“"nah, he's no better than anything the blue team was going to present.” And you sir, are incredibly right in this. He was only slightly less shit than what they had to offer in 2016, and looks to be nose to nose in the shit zone this time around as well. So why are we so worked up over people we KNOW are shit? Why do we keep coming back to the same two squads of the same team of monied tyrants expecting anything different? It’s not the fault of Bush, or Obama, or Clinton, or even Trump. It’s our own fault for putting up with any of this shit."
So what's the deal? I thought Libertarians were on our side?
These guys sound like leftists to me..
You have to realize that there are different sorts of libertarians, and people who call themselves libertarian who aren't by any traditionally accepted definition. And that many libertarians are idealogically split from the Libertarian Party leadership, especially on immigration. Do Republicans all sound like leftists because one of them is Mitt Romney?
