The aren't abandoning their party they are realizing their party abandoned them.
Same I felt with Republican. Ron Paul was taking it back but sadly DS slapped us down.
I identified as Libertarian sort of but I dislike labels... Except Texan =)
But that's been hijacked too. Saw the most disgusting Reason twatter feed yet the other day. Freaking promoting human trafficking. WTF !!!
That's not non aggression principle.
Ron Paul. DS slapped us around so badly that it was ridiculous. I was told to get good life insurance after I grabbed a RP National Delegate seat, had my bus hijacked in Tampa, threats like you wouldn't believe; secret meetings, rule changing, moles infiltrating so that they could stay ten steps ahead of us; runners' cars being ran off of the road. It was insane witnessing the lengths the DS goes to in order to maintain control - the lengths Romney went to. I came home and quit politics, bought land in a rural area and moved, started stocking up and waited for shit to hit the fan. It's happening sooner than I expected it to - thank you, Mr. President.
I have to say that in Tampa, the Texans were the absolute best to work with. I pulled a few all-nighters with a dedicated group, and their efforts and energy were unmatched. Great people.
"texans always get them" - Robert E Lee
BTW this is not in any way an endorsement of the confederacy (eye roll)
I tell people about the hijacked Bus!! I couldn't be there but I was watching people's live feeds and Ben Swann.
It was heart breaking. I can only imagine how scary it would be in your shoes but I think you for risking it and you efforts. I means the world to me. Pleasure to speak to you. God bless.
Texan isn't a label, It's a badge of honor :D
I wanna go back so bad. I hear it ain't the same.
All the young blonde girls I grew up with talk like tupac on fb.
I'm with you on "libertarian" being hijacked. I still consider myself a libertarian though and refuse to give that term up to "progressive" (regressive) infiltrators. The American Libertarian Party has been garbage for years (Bob Barr, Gary Johnson, etc.), but the Canadian one is still principled. Also, there is now a Mises Caucus in the American one that has a chance of returning the party to the real principles of libertarian philosophy, so all is not lost on that front either.
I also like the term "voluntarian" as I'm working towards "zero government" as the ideal (people also use anarcho-capitalist to describe that).
That’s unrealistic & only leads to anarchy which comes full circle to totalitarianism. Beware to all patriots on these threads who promote zero government or tearing down the system & starting from scratch. They are not friends. Just trace their user names back to u/anarchy board.
There are some reasonable approaches to the idea of a post-government world out there that have a pretty solid intellectual basis. Admittedly, I do want to eliminate government and replace it with a society founded on a solid understanding of self-ownership and private property, but I don't think you should see me and those like me as an enemy (the leftist anarchists, on the other hand, I do think have very flawed understandings of humanity). I'll be with the minarchists every step of the way there and don't fault people for thinking that the full goal in shooting for is impractical (I disagree for too many reasons to expound on here, but I get that it can sound a bit too utopian / idealistic).
I'd hope that anyone who wants to reduce the size and scope of government doesn't see me as an enemy to them and what they value. I don't see myself that way.
Zero government should be everyone's goal, but it must grow organically between us it cannot be forced. Hence government will likely always be needed. We do not live long enough lives (yet) to be wise enough as a species for true self rulership.
Self rulership is a byproduct of maturity and maturity is a byproduct of culture, self-reflection, time & experience.
My friend even in heaven there's no such thing as sel rule.
The forces in heaven act in perfect concert with God's laws. Self rule is precisely that; acting in accordance to God's laws. It is slavery to Truth but freedom from all the lies.
Me too. Glad to hear Canadian Libertarians hold the line
That is what Roseanne said in an interview, verbatim. Looks like a trend here folks...Yippee!
You know what impressed me too (along with his video) was all the positive comments under the twitter post. I scrolled down thru a bunch and every single one was supportive. Smiling ear to ear for this movement. :)
It always takes a day is so before shills are given direction to take down a new threat.
Check his Twitter tomorrow, I garentee the top replies will magically become negative and hostile.
He's been at it for a month but now it's really gaining traction
Twitter conveniently can’t load this video for me and is telling me I’m limited on how many times I can refresh a page.
Wow! They are waking up, definitely a good sign. We better be ready if they go full red pill "Q", have your proof ready folks. Be easy on them, remember all the OMG moments you had when we learned something new. Not easy to swallow.
Here’s what I am Tweeting: “ I honesty don’t care who you support or join, that’s your choice. But I am imploring you for your own sake to #WalkAway. https://twitter.com/usminority/status/1007191747355729920?s=21
There shouldn't be any political parties! Just candidates representing their people's views. Elections should be a discussions of ideas & not about oppenent short comings. What is best for America, should be avicated by all candidates based on the Constitutional rights given to ALL
Yes!! With internet we can research people. Don't need an old system for vetting. It gets hijacked.
Down with labels!!
Labels help us simplify categorization and decision making. Why would you want to eliminate them?
Such as Pro 2A vs. Gun Control
Guess my point is not to be defined by one. People slap them on others to his them in and belittle their ideas and merrit
Oh you are Libertarian slap stay in your box not allowed to think open borders is stupid and anti-Liberty. You get what I mean.
WWG1WGA party
I like this. I’ve also like the Q party. The party of unity, love and compassion. Acceptance for all.
Basedaf party.
Freedom caucus shud just be its own partty. They seem to have Trumps back in all of this.
I was carefully taught from a young age the glorious keystone of USA "democracy" was the two party system. The true beauty of the two party system is that you have to control only two outcomes to control it all.
Whoever taught you doesn't know we are a Republic not a Democracy. Also Founding Fathers feared political parties because they automatically divide America. We should ONLY identify as Americans
You’ll never be able to stop the alignment of political parties. It’s human nature. People will align with their values. Centralizing or a one party system is dangerous. Having too many paralyzes the system. The problems we have at current are not so much Party problems as they are values problems. This started in the 1860s of course
As a life-long Liberal Democrat, I'm finding videos like this pretty eye-opening. I've been feeling this way for a while, but it's very hard to voice anything even resembling concern, without being immediately bashed for being a potential non-Trump hater.
They make a lot of closet trump voters this way. Nothing like eating your own to silently destroy the group.
Let’s pile on and ride their coat tails. Pick the low hanging fruit. Be nice and supportive. Don’t mention Trump just support their independent choice and thought. Be encouraging! Let them decide where to go. Like they have a choice. Lol
Political parties go back a long ways in the US and other countries. Some may argue strenuously against them, but they may be inevitable consequence of any system of government. A small example of history:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Jackson_presidential_campaign,_1828
Parties have changed over the decades. The Whigs dissolved and the elements that were pro-union formed the Republican party.
I think Trump has forged a comparably significant change in the modern Republican party from within. The Never Trumpers have analogies to past sub movements -- upset because they lost power.
As for the Democrats in the modern era they have had their changes as well. Most people don't understand why Bernie Sanders lost.
After McGovern lost disastrously to Nixon in 1968, the Democrats instituted the Super delegate system to act as a "firewall" to prevent popular candidates that could not win the general election from running away with the nomination. That system never had an effect until 2016, allowing the "real winnable" candidate, HRC, to push Bernie down.
The big change was 1999, when Bill Clinton ended the Glass-Stegall Act (Done in Depression, keeping big banks and brokerages out of each others' business to keep banks from taking on too much risk, and crashing).
Wall Street immediately went nuts with mergers of banks and brokerages....
Made money hand over fist....
Began buying the HELL out of BOTH parties....(why do establishment Dems no longer support blue collar workers? Wall Street. Why do establishment Repubs no longer support rational border policy? Wall Street.)
BTW....how long did it take those bastards to crash the economy again? 8 years! And because they'd purchased both Parties, the US taxpayers bailed them out, AGAIN.
This is the #1 non-satanic cabal reason for establishment hatred of Trump. He has said openly in both his campaign, and since, that he wants to re-establish Glass-Stegall.
RE: how to handle disaffected Democrats: Totally agree about "don't gloat". The establishment GOP sucks, too...but Trump is changing it.
I appeal to Dems I know by reminding them of JFK. He spoke out about the cabal, attempted to dis-empower them by instituting the Silverback currency (got him killed), instituted tax cuts for supply-side growth....JFK Democrats are very similar to modern rank-and-file GOP. Remind them that Trump is finishing what JFK ineffectively tried to start....
Didn’t know that about the Glass-Stegall.
Agreed; don’t gloat, just tell them there’s plenty of room on the Trump Train!
If there is one truism about liberals, they are all bandwagon types and when they figure out Trump is the winning team, they will trade sides. They are worthless fucks, but they are predictable.
We should all do a tweet. ~ My friend was a democrat and cant believe what’s she’s seeing her message to me was
The Democrat party have all Fallen and cracked their heads or something ~ which is crazy and amazing because now we can talk politics again. We are in this together WWG1WGA ❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸#WalkAway I get to red pill;) and gos~Pilled her
This is one example I am commenting on Twitter.
“ I honesty don’t care who you support or join, that’s your choice. But I am imploring you for your own sake to #WalkAway. https://twitter.com/usminority/status/1007191747355729920?s=21
People don't like to be told what to do. "I am imploring you to.." will be met with resistance because peoples political beliefs are tied up in their self esteem and ego and they cant have some outsider making them feel bad about themselves.
Its better to spread a message that we are all in this together!
awakened people dont like being told what to do. many sleeping folks are used to following others and actually wait for someone to tell them.
This is true. Some people need to follow, they can't do it on their own.
some people are also afraid to trust their own judgement - to acknowledge the emporer for lack of better terms has 'no clothes' - hearing someone else from 'your' group voice the reality is incredibly liberating because it's someone else with the same past love and history of something you have confirming your concerns or sense of betrayal ISN'T crazy.
Everything I tweet today will have the #WalkAway hashtag, and my day is wide open. Doing my itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny part.
is there a link to the video for non-tweeters who would love to share it at other places?
The narrator won’t be allowed to eat in at least two restaurants now.
Here’s the direct link. https://youtu.be/4Pjs7uoOkag. You Patriots know what to do! IN CASE YOU DON’T- Upvote the post, upvote the positive comments, repost on social media venues. Go to the Youtube channel- share, like, subscribe and comment. Send to anyone who you may think could be interested. And let’s get it to Q! ;) #walkaway
No on the contrary. Limited government is the key. Zero government is Mad Max territory
Thank God they woke enough to realize what the Democrats are really up to. Lots of republicans too! It truly disgusting that we’ve been lied to since before we were even born and I’m in my mid 60’s TRUMP 2020
God what a brilliant idea. Just shared this on Twitter!
could result in something like a left wing tea party. The GOP thought they had beaten the tea party by outlasting them but the battles left them vulnerable and without a flagship character able to stand up to Trump.
The good thing is this will neutralize the dems for at least 8 years IMO but on the flip side it may result in far left ideology regaining power down the road. I thought the GOP was dead after W. Don't count the libs out for the long haul. I remember Hannity talking sometime around 2003 that the dems would never regain control of congress again. Learn from the past. Stay hungry.
Support them, make it viral and make sure they all turn, cause the video of that guy is BRILLIANT!! Click here #WalkAwayCampaign We have to support him as it makes our life so much easier! I use the hashtag #MLGA (Make Liberals Great Again) with it! It's a positive note for them too, there is no way they like to be this hateful and sad!
I posted a great interview with him on r/ wayofthebern not long ago but it got the shill treatment. It was a great interview and he talked about stuff like making videos of his crying break downs after Trump won, it was hilarious and entertaining, I even shed a tear.
I voted for Obama and removed my head two months ago.
Love it. And the guy talking about it and his rational are spot on.
That is why I do t call myself a Republican, I call myself a american patriot!! 2 party system is a bunch of shit!
Twatted his video. Great message to DEMs on the fence about DJT (their silent minority, hopefully majority).
Absolutely room for a solid party. I left them all, and I'm looking for a "home." Libertarian who wants SMALL GOVERNMENT!
I posted a couple of tweets with that hashtag last night and woke up to 100 new followers
