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?
Depends on if they're libertarians or lolbertarians. I know a few of the former, they're voting Trump but begrudgingly because the opposite is worse.
Lolbertarians hate Trump because he's against open borders and uses tariffs, not to mention hasn't done anything about weed. They really only care about those issues.
That’s interesting maybe I’m less libertarian than I thought. Open boarders is a terrible idea. I didn’t think that was even an issue for most. My kind of libertarianism is adherence to the constitution and independence. I feel every politician should be independent. However I know humans naturally build tribes and that is more or less a pipe dream.
