You trying to pin this label on me numerous times isn't proof that its accurate. Nice try.

Many disgusting leftists here attack libertarian positions that republicans are more aligned with. Defending libertarian positions and the truth =/= trump supporter.
They have also broken from any sense of human decency and tact and have a troublesome and detached relationship with reality.
When lefty trash go out of their way to attack libertarian positions and me personally, naturally arguments and hostile responses ensue.

Common sense would indicate that i would disagree more with these types of people who share fewer similar positions and have poor character.

Actively supporting and voting for other candidates, speaking out against trump numerous times, and never choosing republicans or trump over libertarian principles indicate that i am not the biggest trump supporter, no matter how many times you want to delude yourself into believing and stating otherwise.

Its simply a weak attempt to label me as something you deem bad in lieu of having to go through the trouble of becoming educated and posting a real argument against my actual positions and statements.


Getting 'educated' in libertarianism is a lot like getting 'educated' in astrology or homeopathy. Sure you may end up being an expert - but you're an expert in bullshit.

You keep making these smug, childish attacks on libertarianism without understanding what the hell you are talking about or even attacking anything in particular.
You turn down opportunities to read even the most basic or most award winning works, instead choosing to label it all as akin to astrology or flat earthers.
Pathetic anti-intellectualism really.

LOL, Republicans being more in-line with Libertarian values, as they continue to do everything Democrats do on fiscal policy and actively oppose libertarian values on social policy.

When you cherry pick you can make any side look better.

Then again, to idiots what you say is more important than what you do. In that sense, Republicans are definitely more in-line with Libertarian values.

Why would you think he's a Trump supporter?

All he does is constantly post memes defending him from the Russia investigation, and constantly blast Democrats for criticizing him, and avoid criticizing Trump like the plague while giving out generalities like "I don't like many of Trump's policies".

That's not nearly enough to think he likes Trump. I mean, he SAID he doesn't like some things Trump does.


What?
I criticize trump all the time! :lol:

Yes, very clearly true.

Look at the the hot button issues over last few years, and try to think about it. i know it will hurt, but try to do it anyways.

There is clear overlap on gun rights, freedom of speech, low taxes, limited government, basic support for capitalism, economic freedom, etc etc.
This is why we see a number of libertarians and libertarian-leaning people in that party, including Ron Paul himself.
In fact you are alleging im some big trump supporter for disagreeing with leftists too much on these very same topics.

I have not suggested that they are perfectly in line or that trump is the most libertarian or that republicans always enact libertarian policies or that there aren't real and significant differences between libertarians and many republicans.
None of that has to be true for us to recognize that republicans are more often clearly on the same side of issues when it comes to differences vs leftists.

For someone who has brought up nuance a lot you sure fail miserably at incorporating it into your posts and ideas.

yeah, who can forget those clear Libertarian values of stop and frisk, the drug war, taxing green energy, banning people from specific bathrooms, increasing the number of prisoners, etc. etc.

When you cherry pick policies it's clear that Republicans are for more freedom!
