In 2016 I voted libertarian. I liked Trump but wasn’t 100% sold and didn’t have confidence in the establishment Republicans. Looking at the vote totals most states had Gary Johnson at 3%. In MN, for example, it was 3.8%.
Trump has been the most libertarian president we’ve had. That being said, I’m assuming most libertarians would switch to Trump for 2020, I certainly am. If that’s the case he’d pick up a few extra states while holding onto the ones he flipped. That mixed with the massive amount of people walking away from the dems we may be looking at a landslide victory.
I haven’t heard any commentators, or anybody, speak to this point. Is it just me? What do you all think?
The more right leaning Libertarians will vote Trump IF they aren't NeverTrumpers (it's amazing to me that so many so-called Libertarians are in bed with the Rinos, but I think it has something to do with clutching to the fantasy of "muh free trade!", and it is a fantasy). Or they're just stubborn as shit and making up excuses like not liking Trump's "tone" or whatever.
The more left leaning ones are essentially closet anarcho-communists who just want to tear down the system while they get dope, hookers, and porno to fill their hearts' desire, or so it seems. They are not going to vote Trump.
Hopefully 30% of them can be peeled off, and yes, Trump is the most Libertarian president we've had -- and I think he's going to do even more that Libertarians will like.
