It's funny because Trump is the least libertarian and most authoritarian candidate out there. Republicans are increasingly trying to co-opt the Libertarian Party.Originally posted by Uncle Ted View Post
Ted, this should be good news to you.Comment

Ha. Trump's 'indemnify all police' plan would be a non-starter for even fake libertarians.Originally posted by Uncle Ted View Post"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

Sentenced to double Life in prison (+40 years) without the possibility of parole for creating a network that mainly trafficked drugs. The allegations he put hits on 6 people were never proven. He was never charged. And those six people were never killed. This isn't my cause, but it does raise questions about the motivation and misuse of prosecutions.Originally posted by frank ryan View Post
I am a loon, but not because of my political beliefs. Due to the shift in the meaning of what a libertarian is, I prefer to call myself a minarchist.Originally posted by Clark Addison View PostComment

It seems the Dems are in freak out mode...
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/0...biden-00160047Dems in full-blown ‘freakout’ over Biden
A pervasive sense of fear has settled in at the highest levels of the Democratic Party over President Joe Biden’s reelection prospects, even among officeholders and strategists who had previously expressed confidence about the coming battle with Donald Trump.
All year, Democrats had been on a joyless and exhausting grind through the 2024 election. But now, nearly five months from the election, anxiety has morphed into palpable trepidation, according to more than a dozen party leaders and operatives. And the gap between what Democrats will say on TV or in print, and what they’ll text their friends, has only grown as worries have surged about Biden’s prospects.
[...]
While he’s long lagged Biden in cash on hand, Trump’s fundraising outpaced the president’s by $25 million last month, and included a record-setting $50.5 million haul from an event in Palm Beach, Florida. One adviser to major Democratic Party donors provided a running list that has been shared with funders of nearly two dozen reasons why Biden could lose, ranging from immigration and high inflation to the president’s age, the unpopularity of Vice President Kamala Harris and the presence of third-party candidates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
[...]
And the Biden campaign brings in Robert De Niro for a presser...
...with folks signing "let's go brandon" in the background. But there is more, De Niro claims that Trump will never leave the office if he becomes president...

It's essentially the belief that government plays a role in society, but only in the basic function of protecting property rights and national defense. Nozick, Hayek, Friedman, and moat of the serious 20th century libertarians believed this. The libertarian party today are mostly right wing anarchists with paleoconservative sympathies and are not serious thinkers. Maybe a better distinction would be "directional libertarians" who beleive change happens slowly and pushing through reforms should be done in the context of the cultural and political realities of the time vs "destinational libertarians" who want revolutionary change right now and reject anything short of their utopian ideal, despite societies "readiness" for it. I'm a directional libertarian.Originally posted by frank ryan View PostComment
