  1. Trump help exposed the clowns at the Lolbertarian Party for who they really are LOL. You love to see it!

  2.  @g9lk  Because why not try to expand your coalition as much as possible and at least reach out to them? Besides, Trump understands not everyone is gonna agree with the bulk of his policies, and so talking to groups of people here and there who are dissenters is a healthy thing and is what any sensible person/politician who wants to have an idea of what they're up against should do.

  3. The problem is modern libertarianism isn't really authentic libertarianism and is basically just a branch of liberalism that hates taxes and gun restrictions. They seem to believe that literally ANY policy that even slightly benefits ordinary citizens of the country is "LE SOCIALISM!" and it's super annoying. Of course there are still good libertarians out there, like Thomas Massie (though even he has his bad moments here and there) and Rand Paul, and I do respect libertarian philosophy in general even if I've moved away from it a little bit in recent years (largely because our society is moving in such an awful and degenerate direction to where I honestly DO think at least some intervention is needed here and there if we want to have any hope of maintaining the U.S. and preventing its already rapidly approaching downfall), but unfortunately it feels like it's been co-opted by a bunch of idiots.

  4.  @unbreakable7633  For some reason it's not letting me reply to your comment. So all I'll say for now is that while I agree with you on principle, it's foolish to support lawlessness and anarchy like the left wants and so cops are needed.

  5.  @AndrewRyan-zv7zb  Exactly. It's literally just anarchism sprinkled with a bizarre love for crony capitalism. Many of these "Libertarian" clowns are jokes. I knew that as soon as that guy in AZ said that we need to think about being more "lenient" on age of consent laws (I'm paraphrasing but I know it was something BS along those lines) that the party has lost its wits.

  6.  @unbreakable7633  Cops shouldn't be blindly supported in all circumstances, but you're a fool if you support the anarchy and lawlessness perpetuated by the left. If you have a viable alternative solution to the police force I'd like to hear it, otherwise whether you like it or not cops are necessary and you'll likely have very little if any interactions with them anyway so long as you aren't breaking the law.

  7.  @DaDeCodeIsTruth  First of all, way to prove almost everything I said 100% correct. Secondly, while I agree that a lot of that shit shouldn't be happening, the problem with modern day lolbertarianism is that they do nothing but suck up to big corporations so much to where whenever anyone even so much as SUGGESTS punishing them for something they did wrong, whether it be the mistreatment of a worker or a blatant violation of someone's constitutional rights, they do nothing but scream "BUT MUH SMALL GOVERNMENT!" and act like corporations are infallible god like institutions that should just continue to abuse their power at any and all costs and if anyone attempts to intervene to stop them, be it the government or otherwise, it's "SOCIALISM!" and we shouldn't do it. They do nothing but stifle any and all meaningful changes that can occur (some of which even INCLUDE some of the issues you wrote about mind you, IE the border and giving benefits to illegals). A perfect example of this is big tech. I think many people, and especially Trump supporters, can at the very least agree that corporations like Google, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram etc. regularly abuse their "moderation" tools and wound up doing nothing but censoring genuine conservative thought, thus turning these sites into a hive mind. Whenever someone suggests breaking up big tech to ensure they don't abuse this, Lolbertarians are often the first ones to scream "NO NO NO, WE MUST KEEP THE GOVERNMENT SMALL! LET THEM CENSOR CONSERVATIVES ALL THEY WANT TO, IF THE PEOPLE GETTING HURT DON'T LIKE IT TOO BAD!". And then NOTHING gets done and things only get worse and worse. Better yet, look at the amount of people getting affected by woke garbage and being forced to endure shit like drag queen shows in schools in the name of "small government". At a certain point one must ask themselves if you really support these things if you actually DO care about liberty or if you just simply are a whiny asshole who doesn't care about the people. Furthermore, the founding fathers specifically fought over the battle between liberty and order and even they themselves wrote that the rights were intended "only for a moral and religious people". And with everything we're seeing going down, do you REALLY think we're even remotely a moral society right now?
