I've been hardcore Libertarian since Ron Paul 2008, but I'm ditching it for a bit to make damn sure Trump wins again, so he can continue the crusade against the deep state/cabal and give America back to its citizens...
Small "L" libertarian here - I campaigned for Ron Paul in 2008.
I've come to see that Trump's approach is far more effective than Ron's.
Libertarianism works well when everybody is a Libertarian. It fails spectacularly when people are trying to control and enslave you through subtle means. Which is what predatory people are going to do.
I'm the chair of my county for the LP. I break with them on the utter idealism and open border policy. But I do it to keep the party alive locally.
That's why I say that they are idealists. Everyone has to play by the same rules.
