"I used to be a libertarian because I just wanted to be left alone and I believed in extending that same courtesy to others. I became right-wing when I realized that the left will never, ever leave me alone."
The libertarians are a joke. I was the same way, joined a libertarian social group even. Almost all of them have TDS now. They try to appeal to leftists and win over exactly zero of them to their niche group. They love losing and they are complicit with the left. I had one on Facebook today from that group told me fuck you for posting that I was no longer going to wear a mask anywhere anymore.
Same thing can be said for cuckservatives. They sit back and whine about Trump's tweets or shit he says, like they have any idea of how to fight. Look faggot, do you want to have "muh conservative principles" or do you want to win?
To be fair, many people don't know their own true beliefs. There are RINOs, DINOs, and I guess LINOs (Libertarian in name only) as well.
I am a real Libertarian. I believe in the maximization of individual liberties. And I am aware of the enemies of these values. The government must be used against them, as they are using it against you. Reciprocity is a significant pillar in ethics - and nobody has to reject power if power is used against you. No - you have the DUTY to use power to defeat the aggressor, otherwise you let them get away with it and continue to do so.
But the end goal should be to increase Free Market Capitalism rather than spiral into working towards communism to defeat communists.
And another point: Whoever is not for the ABSOLUTE ELIMINATION OF MARXISM is not a true Libertarian. Whoever finds himself flirting with leftists or trying to appease them is a cuck that belongs in the trash bin.
Lots of libertarians like trump. Especially since their current presidential candidate is super woke. Why would any libertarian want to vote for someone who believes that we have to be actively "anti-racist". Why would any libertarian in their right mind would want a president that wants to actively discriminate against white people. Pretty dumb If you ask me.
Another former Libertarian checking in. It's the stand you take when you can't quite bring yourself to take a real stand. I went full on Trump Train after similarly realizing the left will never leave us alone.
I thought "when gay marriage became legal in all 50 states the left will leave it alone."
Nope. See pride month. Not even one day is good enough for them. Not even one parade is enough for them. They need a month of parades. That isn't even good enough -- they demand major corporations show support or risk getting crapped all over on social media forever. That isn't good enough either; the heterosexuals are still a looming threat. Everyone who protests homosexuality or even doesn't care for it needs to be accused of sexism, intolerance and ex-communicated from society
I see marriage as a covenant between a man and woman before God. Why should the state be involved in marriage at all? Let alone trying to force me to admit something is a marriage that according to my beliefs is not a marriage. And divorce, why is the state involved in that either? If it's a union before God, how is it that some judge should have the authority to abolish that union?
This is literally what happened to me. I was a registered libertarian (NOT ancap) for many years and I voted them every presidential election to try to help a third party come onto the stage. Then 2016 happened with that useless pothead Gary Whogivesashit and his RINO running mate Weld on the LIbertarian side, I realized that the LIberatrian party is controlled opposition and they will never do anything useful even if they ever got power. On top of that, the anti-conservative rhetoric from the Democrats building to a scream made it abundantly obvious to me that the left wanted to torture and kill me and my family just because I was conservative, and Republicans seem to be the only ones fighting against it (however limp-wristed it may be).
I registered Independent this year, but I have always voted full ticket conservative when I have a choice, and none when it's only Democrats. I honestly would rather vote MAGA party, but no one has started that yet, so I guess I'll vote straight Republican for now.
Outgroup. Marxists (and other authoritarian collectivists) weaponize ingroup/outgroup declarations to direct their drones and instill cohesion by giving them a holy enemy to unite against. Conservatives are just the current holy enemy, but ironically enough any one of their current demographic ingroups can and will be "othered" at any point that it becomes politically convenient.
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I did not speak out;
I was not a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
I realized that the LIberatrian party is controlled opposition...
Beyond that, it's not even possible for a third-party to usurp the uniparty these days. The game is rigged. Local election laws have been constructed by the incestuous web of state parties and legislatures, making sure parties remain a private system of the elites while having the power of quasi-governmental organizations. It is completely antithetical to what our founders envisioned.
Trump showed how to do it. We have to take over from within and show the people there's a better way. If we get enough MAGA in there, we'll have completely destroyed the Dems and may be able to split the GOP into a coalition of Patriots and RINOs who at least vote with us most of the time.
There's a mess because of etymology versus politics. For a long time many people have called themselves liberal with a different set of dominant meanings than today. Politically, ideologically, academically and institutionally approaching the turn of the century as the left sought to redefine itself under the concept of using the new millennium to orchestrate a renewal of sorts the meaning of liberal was reformed or rather deformed along with it. This change was in an effect a reversal.
As a result when you have people today who are carrying the liberal torch yet being strict (authoritarian) and while still calling themselves liberal it makes it very difficult to continue using the label.
A lot of people have started calling themselves classical liberals as a result. While the left wing party in the UK explicitly renamed themselves New Labour ideologically despite the radical changes no one bothered to rename it. Neo-liberal was already taken so then simply never bothered. The old name isn't appropriate either but because they claim it you can't do anything. You can control what you call things and yourself but not others. The name is now like Little John.
Because the left is authoritarian but liberal isn't appropriate loads of people just call themselves libertarians instead merely to identify themselves as anti-authoritarian with less syllables.
It's still messy because there's also an established libertarian political concept with far more specifics which often isn't what many people intend to mean when they say libertarian.
English is an ongoing battle for the shortest terms to efficiently describe something ideally using familiar rather than invented terms or random terms.
America: [squirt bottle squirt] NO. BAD democrats. NO.
2020 dems: disagree with black people burning your homes, businesses, and communities to the ground, or resist our dem supported terror groups, and you're RACIST. Also, people who don't like pedophilia on netflix are scandal-mongers. Kids who use lethal force to defend themselves from pedos are mass shooters. Critical race theory should be taught starting in preschool. Wear a mask, or I'll fucking kill you, you could hurt someone's feelings, but no, I don't have to wear a mask. Come to China Town, it's safe, join us / Trump is xenophobic for shutting down flights from china. Trump personally caused all of these people to die of covid. Trump just told everyone not to let covid dominate your life, and he told Americans we live in the greatest country on earth and to not be afraid and we can defeat this together. Reeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Also 2020 dems: Even if you agree with us we may still burn down your business or ruin your 3-year-old's birthday party if we happen to be nearby! And if we do, you'd better not complain!
That's the disclaimer at the bottom of every democrat advert.
No matter how passionately you virtue signal, no matter how humbly you genuflect before the alter of black supremacy, nothing will stop you and your children from being raped to death under the new world order.
Oh well shit, sign me right the fuck up! Lockdowns forever! It was her turn REEEEEEEE
This is my story too. I’m still appalled normies can’t see through the dem bullshit. Actually I’m convinced they can but their tribalism gets in the way. Yesterday I told my mom covid was political, she disagreed. I offered a $1000 bet saying it disappears after the election. She didn’t take the bet...
Haha. I've repeatedly offered a similar bet to my SO. They know in their hearts that we're right. A wise person once said "It is a terrible thing to fall, but far more terrible is to admit it."
My girlfriend was worried about her "at-risk" mother getting it, as well as her step dad. Me and my folks had it back in March and kicked its commie ass like the red blooded Patriots we are. Her mom and step dad got it, she freaked out for a day or two, and then literally has not brought it up one bit since. I can only assume they got over it like it was nothing, like I did.
I can only hope this shit is sinking in, because any direct attempt has been completely futile since she believes Trump is as guilty as the rest of them. No matter what evidence I bring she goes back to that. She'll claim she doesn't fit in with whatever groups, but regurgitates Democratic Party talking points to me whenever it does come up, including the old "Western European Democratic Socialism" argument.
Normies who don't have access to "alternative media" like us may never know that the wool is pulled over their eyes. Many of them probably see "alternative media" as a bunch of extremist conspiracy theorists shut off from reality trying to control them (ironically).
Ive been trying to think of who to get my mom to watch (she's 72) instead of CNN and Canadian state media because she's a natural catastrophizer and severely Trump Derranged.
My friend loves posting clips of CNN blatantly making fun of Trump and Trump supporters and still actually thinks CNN is real news and are presenting a fair and accurate view of the world.
I was in college. If you were OK with fighting terrorism, you were racist toward Muslims. "BUSH IS A WAR CRIMINAL!!!" was the "Trump is literally Hitler!" of my time.
Try not to judge... I've since seen the light... But I originally wanted bernie. His message of completely destroying lobbying, and stripping the power of corporations and special interests from campaign finance (eliminating pacs, etc) resonated with me. He's since become the biggest cuck ever... But in 2015, he had been saying the same shit for 40 years. Truly a sad story. When hillary got the nomination via party line superdelegate coronation, I knew I wasn't voting for her. That was in June. But the deplorables speech in September (holy shit... Just realizing how close it was to the election) made me go, "welp there it is, 100% voting for Trump now you stupid fucking bozos."
I'm liberal. I wanted yang to win the dem primary this year. Woops! The dems ushered another neocon swamp creature to the front of the ticket... AGAIN! Morons! Now I'm all in on Trump for life. 12 more years? Pshh... 12 more TERMS.
The way to get rid of lobbying is to get rid of corporate taxes. The lobbyists are out there lobbying for tax breaks. If no corporations paid taxes the playing field between small and large companies would be even and corporations would have nothing to lobby for. The way it is now, the big companies don't pay corporate taxes because they've lobbied for a loophole and the small companies cannot compete.
Corporate taxes, when they are paid, are not really paid by the corporation, they are passed through to the consumer. In the case where the company cannot pass the taxes through you can be sure they are economizing by cutting wages to the bone.
Hah, nice story. For me it was a goddam sticker. I was on my uni campus during the whole campus rape culture BS and there was this one bathroom right next to my office. Mens room, I wasn't out yet. One day I walk into the bathroom and in the middle of the mirror is this fucking sticker that says "The Average man will rape 2.4 women while attending this school. Be a part of the solution." It was right in the middle of the mirror. I couldn't even wash my hands without it being right at eye level. I had never even dreamed of touching a girl inappropriately in my entire life; I didn't even hang out with girls because I was so terrified of being falsely accused of impropriety. And now someone decided to put a fucking sticker in my face basically calling me a rapist and demanding I repent without even bothering to know who I was. It made me so insanely mad.
So I decided: Screw em. I decided I would do literally anything in my power to end their unjust persecution of innocent boys. I would make sure that that sticker backfired on whoever put it on their as hard as I possibly could. Never found out who it was, and I guess it doesn't really matter. Ironically, I stopped using that bathroom shortly thereafter when I transitioned, but I went it one last time to check and it was still up almost a year later. For me that was it, the message was sent and there was no going back.
Yeah, like what the hell, Bernie? The quickness he went to just parroting the non-sensical narrative about how dangerous Trump immediately after Hilary cucked him in the primaries (the first time) made me realize how much of a sellout he was. If he meant anything he said during his run he wouldn't have stood by and let her do that.
For me it wasn't 'switching sides' per se, I was more on the fence having a good time as a spectator before jumping on the train. That moment was when I saw people getting vilified for having the audacity to have a different opinion than what was approved by the media and the woke mob.
Even now that I'm a diehard Trump warrior, I'd never wish ill on my opponent. If biden got covid, I'd wish him well. I'd wish him a speedy recovery, and I'd wish that no one close to him would be infected, and caused undue suffering. I wish biden's supporters well too. They disagree with me, but I don't consider them evil... Just misinformed, and perhaps coming from VERY different circumstances - usually either great privilege, or great poverty / shitty upbringing.
Can you imagine thinking everyone on the other side is evil, and wishing harm upon all of them? That seems to be an excusively left/democrat thing. Trump represents the party of love, enjoying life, including others, and celebrating and cherishing America.
I absolutely think most of the upper-echelon on the left is evil. Don’t kid yourself. Their supporters are just brainwashed and don’t know better, people like AOC are also brainwashed. People like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer however know exactly what they are doing. They literally lied and made Kavanaugh out to be a rapist with zero evidence and they knew damn well it wasn’t true. Then will do anything and everything to consolidate their power.
Out of everyone in government, swamp or not, Pelosi is the one that I think is most dangerous. Her absolute naked lust for power and the obvious lengths she'd go to get it ("I'm not sending out stimulus checks because it would be Trump's name on it, and we just can't let him have that kind of win") tells me that she's the type of person that would rather rule over ashes just so she can be at the top. I mean watch how giddy she gets whenever talking about, well, anything to do with the possibility of her getting more power - it's disgusting. She starts moving and squirming like an excited kid waiting for the toy store to open.
Oh, where there is true evil.... Let it be eradicated by any means necessary. But I must insist that the victims of brainwashing themselves are not automatically evil. There are millions of people who were brainwashed last election who have since seen the light! Imagine how many more people will see the truth by, say, Trump's 4th or 5th term in office.
I'll never forget that day in 2016. My wife and I were glued to the TV, watching as the results came in state by state. Near the beginning, the talking heads were still their usual smug selves. Then one state came in. Then two. And so on. You could see the hairline cracks in their demeanor turn into fullblown faults. CNN anchor claiming "THIS IS A WHITELASH". I was squeeing with glee for days. But then the sky screaming didn't stop. It just lingered on and on.... and on........... and ON........ and now, here we are, 4 years later, but the sky screams have not stopped. They have intensified.
I've seen this video well over 100 times. When the music picks up at 2:20, it gets me every time. I can't help myself. I just start to burst out with joyous laughter with tears streaming down my face.
It's so true! Trump winning wasn't that big a deal at all for them, but they want to keep throwing pins on their shoes and then crying every time they put them on. They use projected logic and false pretenses to back themselves into a narrative they cannot win and then cry about losing.
Same here. I enjoyed just being a spectator. I haven’t voted since 2004. I’ve generally found myself to align more along the conservative side of issues, but not on everything. I never gave a fuck about the Republican party, and I never voted because I never felt like any of the dumbasses running would represent my interests well or deserved my endorsement.
Even in 2016, I wasn’t entirely sure about Trump. I liked what he promised, but I recognized he was a New York billionaire, and I was skeptical for sure.
Boy, was I wrong! This is the first election I am actually excited as fuck to be voting in. The leftists have gotten so radical that there is no way to ignore what is going on here.
I’ve always been interested in geopolitical issues. I keep informed by reading news from all over the world in the original language (and the native comments sections) to get a strategic picture of what’s up.
I know I’m not the only one who is informed but has hesitated in actually voting nonetheless due to a lack of suitable candidates.
This election has lines clearly drawn, and we all know what’s at stake...
Two big factors that led to me switching sides: Hillary's deplorables speech, and watching how much fun the Trump crowd was having.

Yup, same. I was a moderate Dem leaning in 2015. By 2016 they were calling everyone racist and I was out. Now they are worse.
Reminds me of a good quote I saw a while back:
"I used to be a libertarian because I just wanted to be left alone and I believed in extending that same courtesy to others. I became right-wing when I realized that the left will never, ever leave me alone."

STANDING OVATION
For me it's not one thing but thousands and thousands of things in over two decades which grow worse and worse.
We can generally boil it down to playing out of an intense ever growing jealous hatred combined with scapegoating of native straight white males.
That hatred is rapidly approaching murderous.
What’s even worse is the liberals have NO CHOICE on their candidate. For fucks sake it’s so obviously rigged.
It used to just be superdelegates.. now it's the propaganda wing of the DNC! Aka CNN, MSNBC, ABC, and any non-TUCKT Fox news program.
Yeah, like what the hell, Bernie? The quickness he went to just parroting the non-sensical narrative about how dangerous Trump immediately after Hilary cucked him in the primaries (the first time) made me realize how much of a sellout he was. If he meant anything he said during his run he wouldn't have stood by and let her do that.
He was like oooooo look out now I'm a swamp creature too! "Bend the knee" bernie, I call him.
For me it wasn't 'switching sides' per se, I was more on the fence having a good time as a spectator before jumping on the train. That moment was when I saw people getting vilified for having the audacity to have a different opinion than what was approved by the media and the woke mob.
Even now that I'm a diehard Trump warrior, I'd never wish ill on my opponent. If biden got covid, I'd wish him well. I'd wish him a speedy recovery, and I'd wish that no one close to him would be infected, and caused undue suffering. I wish biden's supporters well too. They disagree with me, but I don't consider them evil... Just misinformed, and perhaps coming from VERY different circumstances - usually either great privilege, or great poverty / shitty upbringing.
Can you imagine thinking everyone on the other side is evil, and wishing harm upon all of them? That seems to be an excusively left/democrat thing. Trump represents the party of love, enjoying life, including others, and celebrating and cherishing America.
I absolutely think most of the upper-echelon on the left is evil. Don’t kid yourself. Their supporters are just brainwashed and don’t know better, people like AOC are also brainwashed. People like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer however know exactly what they are doing. They literally lied and made Kavanaugh out to be a rapist with zero evidence and they knew damn well it wasn’t true. Then will do anything and everything to consolidate their power.
Out of everyone in government, swamp or not, Pelosi is the one that I think is most dangerous. Her absolute naked lust for power and the obvious lengths she'd go to get it ("I'm not sending out stimulus checks because it would be Trump's name on it, and we just can't let him have that kind of win") tells me that she's the type of person that would rather rule over ashes just so she can be at the top. I mean watch how giddy she gets whenever talking about, well, anything to do with the possibility of her getting more power - it's disgusting. She starts moving and squirming like an excited kid waiting for the toy store to open.
Oh, where there is true evil.... Let it be eradicated by any means necessary. But I must insist that the victims of brainwashing themselves are not automatically evil. There are millions of people who were brainwashed last election who have since seen the light! Imagine how many more people will see the truth by, say, Trump's 4th or 5th term in office.
You don't need to be convinced; that's an emotional statement.
Flip the analysis. Group power systems exist in every species. Human governments are just another iteration.
Like a mountain, psychopaths are attracted simply because its there. Its a competitive challenge to "win".
They really truly enjoy lying, manipulating and exercising in your face unlawful behavior.
Its a game, with deplorable as the pathetic losers who get dunked on.
Our only recourse is the proverbial reset.
I'll never forget that day in 2016. My wife and I were glued to the TV, watching as the results came in state by state. Near the beginning, the talking heads were still their usual smug selves. Then one state came in. Then two. And so on. You could see the hairline cracks in their demeanor turn into fullblown faults. CNN anchor claiming "THIS IS A WHITELASH". I was squeeing with glee for days. But then the sky screaming didn't stop. It just lingered on and on.... and on........... and ON........ and now, here we are, 4 years later, but the sky screams have not stopped. They have intensified.

I've seen this video well over 100 times. When the music picks up at 2:20, it gets me every time. I can't help myself. I just start to burst out with joyous laughter with tears streaming down my face.
FUCKING RESPLENDENT
It's so true! Trump winning wasn't that big a deal at all for them, but they want to keep throwing pins on their shoes and then crying every time they put them on. They use projected logic and false pretenses to back themselves into a narrative they cannot win and then cry about losing.
Seeing a leftist turn into a pede would be like the story of the prodigal son.
"We must have a large feast!"
"But father, I've been a loyal pede all these years! Not once have you thrown a large feast for me! You never even made me a tray of pizza rolls!"
"Son, all I have is yours; but you must realize, your brother was lost, and is now found!"
"Bring the breaded tendies and kill them. Let us feast and celebrate."
Same here. I enjoyed just being a spectator. I haven’t voted since 2004. I’ve generally found myself to align more along the conservative side of issues, but not on everything. I never gave a fuck about the Republican party, and I never voted because I never felt like any of the dumbasses running would represent my interests well or deserved my endorsement.
Even in 2016, I wasn’t entirely sure about Trump. I liked what he promised, but I recognized he was a New York billionaire, and I was skeptical for sure.
Boy, was I wrong! This is the first election I am actually excited as fuck to be voting in. The leftists have gotten so radical that there is no way to ignore what is going on here.
I’ve always been interested in geopolitical issues. I keep informed by reading news from all over the world in the original language (and the native comments sections) to get a strategic picture of what’s up.
I know I’m not the only one who is informed but has hesitated in actually voting nonetheless due to a lack of suitable candidates.
This election has lines clearly drawn, and we all know what’s at stake...
And no urinals on this train.. We piss to the wind.
This train.... It has...
IMPRESSIVE LENGTH ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
...AND GIRTH!
To the hilt, pedes.
To. The. HILT.
