A Call for Unity
I’ve always considered myself a Libertarian, because I believe in individual liberty and minimal government.
But I am a huge supporter of Trump, because I recognize he poses a significant threat to the establishment that we want to dismantle.
Trump is not part of the duopoly. Libertarians need to understand that MAGA is an entirely different faction within the GOP. It’s essentially a different party, using the GOP as a vessel to the White House, and it works. It works far better than being a 3rd party and getting nowhere.
MAGA also need to understand that there are a wide range of beliefs/factions amongst Libertarians, and the extreme ones don’t represent the collective. The anti-border Libertarians/Anarchists are an unserious minority that serious people ignore.
Libertarians and MAGA have so many common enemies and agree on a lot of policy. Same goes for RFK Jr. supporters. Obviously there are many differences, but we all share the common goals of avoiding WW3, dismantling the corrupt establishment, and creating a better quality of life for the American People, even if we might have different opinions on how to get there.
This is why I have been preaching unity amongst these groups, and will continue to do so up to Election Day and beyond. Because the alternative of having the Dems win is not an option. The stakes are too high. Global war, tyranny, propaganda, pandemics, etc.… the future of humanity lies in the balance.
Why not unite to fight the common enemy? Seems like a no-brainer to me.
My brother, a long time libertarian active in the libertarian party, considers Mr. Trump to be just the same as any other "demopublican" as he calls them. I have tried to persuade him that this is not the case. True, as Richard says in his post, he has missed many opportunities to do the right thing, from a practical point of view he still seems to me to represent our best hope of improving an almost impossible situation and supporting many of the most important things that lovers of individual liberty and protection of human rights want to see. I haven't had much success with him so far, however I am sure there are libertarians who would listen to reason. His recent support for protections for cryptos like bitcoin and stance against CBDCs and promise to commute the sentence of the Silk Road founder are good indicators of his willingness to consider libertarian viewpoints.
Concur with your narrative.
MAGA is a populist movement far distinct from the RINO infested Republican Party which has sold it's soul to the corruption of the Deep State. I like Rick Scott to replace McConell, the two headed snake.
