25 year card-carrying libertarian here.

Most libertarian banter you hear nowadays is from actual Bernie Bros fleeing the DNC. Ignore them. r/libertarian has been completely taken over by Eurofags who have a completely different definition of the term.

Real libertarians (a.k.a. classical liberals like Jefferson, Madison, Washington) support 90% of what Trump does.

I'm a Harry Browne / Ron Paul style libertarian. Not a Jo Jorgensen woke libertarian. Libertarians are devolving into a landing pad for disaffected voters with no real theory of government. I can tell you that I support Trump when he gets it right and am not like this meme. Whether people like me vote for Trump is more a function of where you fall on the idealistic / pragmatic spectrum, but I cheer Trump when he gets it right on policy. Libertarians are your allies.

I can't stand JoJo. She has no clue about government and just want to turn everything off and allow illegals to flood the country.

I won't go back to the big L until the party kicks all the commies out and I resume paying my dues. I'm not optimistic it'll happen any time soon

Amen. I may have to leave the party. I hate jo jorgenson (the LP presidential candidate). I cannot vote for her.

She's for open border! If we tell that to Biden voters, maybe they will vote for her and biden loses more votes XDDD either way it's everyone vs Trump.

The Misses Caucus is gaining a ton of traction. Instead of sitting out, help out. The party has such small numbers that individuals can actually make a difference.

To myself: Libertarianism means to "Live and Let Live" to "Freely exercise any and all god given rights so long as I do not infringe on the rights of others"

The Failing of so MANY self described libertarians is they fail to realize the Very Talos Imbue's a need for compromise to function.

Simple thought experiment. 2 cars on a 1 lane road driving at each other. Something has to give in order to safely pass.

This pede gets it.

Most Libertarians live in a world of theoreticals, like Marxists. Except when reality kicks in, like you say, something has got to give.

Yeah, open borders means the erosion of personal rights and prosperity of the nation's citizens due to the nation losing its sovereignty to hordes of people that have no attachment or investment in the host nation they are strip-mining.

Thus open borders are anti-libertarian if one is able to think past first order consequences.
