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?

No because a decentralised state is difficult to take over for muslims, gays whoever you are worrier about.

Add to this that when you centralise power corrupt individuals seek it out. Thats the exact system currently in the US. You have corrupt individuals in control and they actively destroy the nation be that socialists or muslims.

You probably realise Trumps dont come along 3 times a week. If they did sure theyd all run the state and we might be fine. But in reality the people seeking out those positions are the likes of Bush, Clinton, Pelosi, Cuomo, Romeny, Biden.

I don't think you answered my points at all.
