It is not a Libertarian principle to demand Open Borders. Unfortunately, the L.P. has been infiltrated by Globalists.
I want small government, and Trump has done a great job with making the government smaller. Let's see what happens with another four years of Trump/Pence!
Chapotraphouse fags invaded every libertarian community and started suggesting open borders. They did a large psyop and are still doing it in any libertarian community they can find in reddit and outside of reddit.
I'd be much more for open borders if it wasn't for all the gov't handouts. The old USA, where pretty much anyone was was just rubber stamped in, but there was zero welfare, food stamps, social security, medicaid, or anything else. That attracted tough, rugged individuals who had to make it on their own.
And can you imagine how laughable a "lockdown" would have been in that era? People had to worry about surviving the winter. Starving was a real possibility. Americans today are complete wimps compared to their ancestors.
Open borders is a libertarian goal. And if we stopped giving free shit to anyone who waltzes across the border it could work. But we can't keep handing everyone free healthcare, food, housing, and jobs and expect to not ruin ourselves.
I used to think of Libertarians as Republicans who like pot. They've really gone off the rails in the last few election cycles. Now they just look crazy.
That's how it used to be, like the good o'l days with Ron Paul. Now, it's Republicans who like pot who feel bad about being on the right-wing, and want brownie points from people who want to throw us in the gulag.
Libertarians at one point were strong on the 2A, castle doctrine, small government, low taxes. You could typically expect their office holders to caucus with Republicans.
Those days are done. More they're an object example of why 3rd parties don't work.
Fortunately the Constitution Party kind of just piggy backs off the Republican Party, so a vote for the Republicans is still a vote for them, it'st just not directly voting for them. I agree they'd be better Libertarians then the Libertarian Party haha.
Yup, this is why I'm a Republican. I think there's a lot of common ground between Conservatives, and Libertarians to make things better for the country. Trump is an awesome example of a balance between Libertarianism, and Conservatism.
Though I consider myself mostly libertarian in philosophy, there are problems with their philosophy which fundamentally cannot be fixed.
Ultimately, the libertarian philosophy can be summarized as "as long as you don't do harm to others without their consent, you can do whatever you want." However, the phrase "do harm to others without consent" is vague and effectively impossible to truly accomplish.
For example, if I stand nearby someone's property, someone could argue that I am affecting their property because light-waves bounce off me and go into their property. What if the owner doesn't consent to my light-waves going into their property? In a very minimal way, I might be hurting them.
Any reasonable person would obviously say that this example is ridiculous, but it demonstrates that all actions have consequences, and those consequences could affect other people. We cannot reasonably ask for consent for everything we do. This is where society, through a government, steps in to decide what people can and can't do without getting consent. Generally, government should err on the side of liberty without consent under the assumption that people can solve their own disputes, but it needs to recognize areas where use of force is justified to make sure people don't gravely violate each other's rights.
I don't think any state can legitimately go blue at this point. DC, sure. But NYC is emptied out so the upstate has a chance. California has a lot of republicans who will be turning out.
Maybe 1/2 of Maine will give Biden some electoral votes, but they arent an "all or nothing" state.
Colorado. It's so far gone Trump hasn't campaigned there or even mentioned it in a tweet. And this when he even tweeted places like CA and NY to vote red.
If there's something I missed I'd love to be proven wrong.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO VOTE. EVERY VOTE MATTERS. THIS IS THE SOUL OF AMERICA AND THE LETTER OF THE CONSTITUTION WE ARE FIGHTING FOR
A NON-VOTE FOR TRUMP IS A VOTE FOR BIDEN, KAMALA, ANTIFA, AND BLM
VOTE TRUMP
YES, AS A LIBERTARIAN, DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT VOTE FOR THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY FOR POTUS! TRUMP ALL THE WAY!
THIS, the Libertarian candidate isn't even a real libertarian. TRUMP/PENCE 2020

Not to mention Jo bent the knee to BLM marxists

Yep, it’s more or less cucked fence sitters who still aspire to be social climbers and denounce their white privilege to the loony left.

All 50 states can flip red. This is our chance.
Washington state is my voting state too. If you ever have any questions feel free to ask me.
That is a good way to feel about it. After all Trump has done for us why the hell would I not vote for him?
1984 repeat baby!
Which state goes blue? We'll let Joe have ONE, and D.C, but that's all he's allowed to have.

Vote Trump or one of the 4 socialist parties on the ballot will win
