re: Did Trump cause the Libertarian party to go to Shite?

The problem with Libertarianism is the same as any ideology. In and of itself it does not work. Pure leftism obviously does not work. Neither does pure conservatism or pure capitalism. This is why moderates are the sweet spot for general elections but get obliterated in primaries.

Please do describe which parts of ''pure libertarianism'' doesn't work exactly and why. I'll be waiting.

This idea that ''pure something'' doesn't work because it's an ''extreme'' and ''extremes never work'', it's the most insane and damaging ideal we've had in our societies for a while.

First of all it implies that X is an extreme per se, and that by virtue of being an extreme it's wrong. I can describe dozens of things that are extremes and we would never find bad in our daily lives.
Does having extremely low crime is bad ?
