Why is it that no matter what online community you visit, each community seems to have a group of so called "above the fray" libertarians who do nothing but white knight for everything Biden, Democrat, Progressive, and anti-Trump under the sun?

They do nothing but promote progressive policies, the Biden administration, and then do nothing but trash Trump and conservatives, but then when you ask who they voted for, they say they voted 3rd party and are libertarian.

These people exist everywhere. Who are they trying to fool? You think if they really were libertarians, they'd at least throw a bone to the right every now and then, but when you view their post history they do nothing but promote progressive policies.

I think its because they are actual Biden voters but are ashamed so they hide behind the libertarian mask so others don't look down on them.

Fake...

Just like “The Lincoln Project” and so called conservatives on CNN.

The title is supposed to make weak minded individuals look at them and say “well I’m one of them.... I should believe that too”. When in reality they are not. They are ardent leftists.

This is something the left has used to perfection. I hate to admit that but it’s true.

Great post. I'll also add Jenna Bush and Megan McCain on The View. They are as establishment as it gets. The deep state likes to sneak these people in kind of under the radar. But many people are awake to the scam now.

They are just liberals who are too ashamed to call themselves liberals.

They called themselves that in college so they could still wax philosophical in the coffee bars or craft brew places without being criticized. I have zero attachment to leftists and I think they're a far greater danger to the cause of liberty than anyone on the right in its current form.

They're most likely just contrarian.

So if you see them on a conservative board they act liberal.

And if you see them on a Leftist board they're banned.

I've never met a libertarian as you described. But then I seldom visit the zoo.

I don't white knight for Democrats, but I also recognize a large portion of "conservatives" aren't for less government, but just for a different boot on their neck.

There is no way any libertarian supports the sheer volume of government advocated by the ppl who control Xiden.

These ppl are either neocon Republicans or Democrats. They ain’t libertarian in any way shape or form. And wants some government “expert” making their decisions for them

You mean like Hank that blasted Trump every chance and then white knights for a bumbling fool on everything, and pretends to be “independent” “conservative”, but always seems to be siding with liberal policy and agendas?

Yeah, love those dishonest types. They’re good for a laugh or two.

Right, because many of you make no distinction between cradle to grave socialism, and things like border security, and a strong military to keep a lid on assholes like Osama Bin Laden, Fidel Castro, Pol Pot, Stalin, Hitler, Mao Zedong, Ho Chi Minh, Saddam Hussein, and the mullahs in Iran.

Anyone who hobnobs for Biden, Harris, and Fauci is not a libertarian. Fauci said that if I get the vaccine, I can not indoor dine which I’m doing right now. frick these tyrants. If you’re a libertarian, your first priority is for individual liberty, and Fauci said the following today:

quote:

There are things, even if you’re vaccinated, that you’re not going to be able to do in society. For example, indoor dining, theaters, places where people congregate.


Yeah, frick everything. Why should I get a vaccine at this point? I’m young and healthy and my parents received both of theirs two weeks yesterday. I’m not scared of this virus. If I’m not able to go back to normal life when the people most at risk have not only received a vaccination that decreases the transmission by 95% but also reduces the symptoms by 95% if you somehow still get it, why should I give a frick. I’m willing to bet Fauci and these other petty dictators in the government were pissed off Trump’s administration and big pharma managed to get a vaccine so quickly because they planned on milking it out for years and no longer have any valid excuse. Life should be back to normal today.

Most libertarians are just fine with Democrats in control; both parties want open borders, China-Mexico-First Trade deals, oil/gas regulation (good for nuclear), and are indifferent about the liberal agenda. Then, when their industry and livelihood is affected by said agenda, they start voting GOP again.

true libertarians only want open borders if the following are done at a minimum

1) all government assistance is terminated immediately.
2) fair tax is instituted or a flat tax where everyone pays the same
3) school choice across the board
4) mimimum wage is cut completely
5) all countries play by the same rules
6) complete and utter free trade

essentially they only want open borders if there is no reason for peopel to come here and freeload.

btw you can be a libertarian and not agree with everything the so called party puts out. just like you can be a conservative and not agree with republicans.

personally i identify as a libertatrian, but I am more of a nationalist libertarian or america first libertarian.

And so since very little if any of that is EVER going to happen, why do the PT libertarians insist on defending their hero Rand Paul, for taking a shite on creating a border wall when the opportunity was in his hands? And moreover, why would the libertarian poster child take a shite on a border wall, knowing that there is a snowball's chance in hell of any of your list actually being achieved and implemented?
