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?
There are a lot of us libertarians that disagree with Trump on a TON of stuff that's really important to us, but most of us LOATHE the current left so much that we are at least glad for Trump's stand against them. It's more about the culture war than politics at this point. Holding back the racist, marxist, hateful leftist movement is of extreme importance. For all his flaws, Trump really is a bulwark against them.
