Lol. Can't wait for all those "free market libertarians" and "small government republicans" applaud this shit.

When conservatives say they want “small government” what they mean is “consolidated power”.

One man to rule them all.

Gov so small it can fit in one body

Real libertarians do not applaud this shit. Cosplaying MAGA “libertarians” maybe…

Libertarians hate this shit. You should try talking to some of them.

Every libertarian that I've met is about as dumb as your average Trump voter.

u/ElderSmackJack Sep 21 '26

Then you haven’t met any.

u/piepants2001 Wisconsin Sep 21 '26

Wrong.  You sound exactly like every libertarian that I've ever met, you think you are smarter than everyone else because you don't understand how government works.

There are tons of right wing self proclaimed libertarians that aren't at all actually libertarian. They really like how it all sounds but in reality they're all for more government when it's their kind of government.

Like people who fly the Gadsden Flag or have a Don't Tread... bumpersticker but turn around and defend the current government at every turn, simply because they're agreeable in general to a right wing government.

Who did you vote for?

u/ElderSmackJack Sep 21 '26

Harris. You can verify this by searching my comment history. I donated money to her. I just have an ACTUAL libertarian in my family.

u/DawsonNY Sep 21 '26

I appreciate you.

You’re also in the vast minority of registered Libertarian voters. They overwhelmingly voted for Chase Oliver, or didn’t vote at all.

u/ElderSmackJack Sep 21 '26

Think you misread. I’m not a Libertarian. My brother is. I’m a registered Democrat. Still, get what you mean.

u/DawsonNY Sep 21 '26

Ok yes, I see what I did there.
