Rand and Massie are self proclaimed Libertarians. They are not Republicans. They pretend to be one, just so they can get elected in a red state. Once elected they act like the cowards they are, by voting libertarian, without have the balls to run as libertarians

True, but the real issue isn't, "But...but Trump is much better than the alternative of a low-IQ drunken retard as President!"; The issue or question is, 'IS President Trump standing on conservative, true "Make America First / Great" principles, policies, and agenda."

Its a retarded point. Trump cozies up with Ms Lindsey, and hates Massie.

Should be enough for you to realize you've been fooled.

Nope. This is dead wrong and is a super common mistake. Massie advocates term limits for all, not for one.

Yet you told me that Massies always leads by example

Until it hurts Massie, I guess

I say this as someone who spent the first decade and a half of my adult life as an ardent libertarian.

Its a foolish, pie in the sky ideology, that is as naive as socialism. Its mutually assured destruction. It doesnt work.

The day the country and government is made up of 100% informed, intelligent, moral actors, you can find me standing next to Massie and Paul again. And on some specific issues, you can find me standing next to them today.

But wholesale, in the real world, libertarianism is dumb and gay and a way for you to wave the white flag as the world burns around you and get to feel good about yourself.

That's the story we were told. IS IT ALL TRUE? Do we have the official numbers and perp-orgs?

Lotta noise and thunder initially. An audit, some big claims, then conspicuous silence.

So how much are we told the DOGE op slashed the feral budget and reduced the insane deficit? (It's $38T now)

Why are NGOs still operating and funding clown shows like 'NO KINGS' and other chaos? Do we now have a re-adjusted budget reflecting re-allocations based on the gazillions in "savings"?

And exactly WHO got busted in the NGO-scam? Where are the DOJ / FIB indictments and prosecutions? And what happened to the $5,000 per person rebate promise teased by the President?

I for one would love to see them running as Independents or establishing a real "America-First" conservative" party They'd win running away.

The Trump's new moral relative GOP remains a pro-Globalist, closet-socialist, pro-War, pro-Statist party -- and "Lesser of two Evils."

The left can’t meme.

A meme requires honesty.

Coincidence?

Exactly.


Lindey influences Trump, and votes with Democrats more than almost any other Republican.

Yet Massie with a near perfect liberty score is a "democrat" according to the cult.


This is one reason normal people have little respect for MAGA politics.

No one is going to argue against lindsey being a swamp rat. Trump is positive towards lindsey because lindsay is helping pass what Trump was elected on. Massie is roadblocking practically everything Trump ran on. Politics requires compromise and Rand and massie dont understand they will never get 100% what they want without thousands of tiny steps between where we are and where they want to be. It cannot be done the way they want it done.

As an aside, that is exactly how controlled opposition works. Promote something impossible to give the appearance of a choice so that in reality there is no choice.

Vance not wrong

One thing to be a fetterman type of politician and cross the aisle, another to just not vote for your party to spite
