Honestly it’s the only party that will take fiscal conservatives now


so even though they represent some of the worst that society has to offer, and these people will be the reason this country turns to communism, we should welcome them because they potentially accept fiscal conservatives.....

THEIR so called party is in fact, a freak show.

You do understand this country was basically founded on libertarianism right?


The country was founded by people with shared culture/beliefs who were expected to act in good faith.

The country today is nothing like this.

This. Libertarianism was a by-product of a functional, high-trust, common law, property rights and rule based society that developed over centuries. You can’t just go institute “libertarianism” any more than you can just randomly install an unwired outlet and use it for electricity.

The libertarian party has mostly grown into an outlier freak party. Quit having horrible frontman as the faces and it may attract a new generation of voters.

I realize it's highly unlikely, but it's not impossible to get on track to doing it. Milei has shown the blueprint.

Too many people wishing the government would "do something" for them and that tree of liberty was never watered.

libertarians are nothing but a measure of control used by the globalist/london powers to keep rise against their power in check.

People realizing they could vote themselves your money. Politicians realizing there is significant power in giving others your money.

The problem with society today and I lump libertarians in with this is this. Everyone having the freedom and liberty to do what they want is good, just as long as everyone accepts and assumes accountability and responsibility for those actions.

This is where I think the issue is that no one wants to assume responsibility for their actions.

Correct, because government subsidizes failure all the time.

One might even go so far as to say the government subsidies are the primary driver of the failures…

Let's be honest, nothing scales to include 360 million people which is exactly why the founding of this country was based in Libertarianism. By design, they wanted each state to establish there own political nuances as long as they did not infringe on what were considered "basic human rights". Of course, most states had less population than most current average size cities at that time. Self governance really should be brought down to the local level. Once an economic/political ideology reaches a certain population level, it will always go off the rails because someone or something has accumulated too much power.

The only thing the libertarian party has ever accomplished is getting democrats elected.

Libertarians are true conservatives. Social conservatives are not.

Less government. Free market economy.

I see all these idiots screaming free market and holding their hands out for government assistance.

Of all countries to have ever successfully, voluntarily instituted a classical liberal system, what percentage were dominated by European Christian demographics/ancestry vs. not?

Hard to have a conversation about libertarianism when many here cannot or will not understand

The Libertarian party does not represent nor is it comprised of most libertarians. Note big "L" is party. Little "l" is the political belief.
