In this edition, a libertarian who voted for Trump is surprised that Trump is going after Thomas Massie and Rand Paul.

Chase Oliver was too liberal for him? Why, cuz he cares about homeless people and immigrants? Cuz he's gay? Cuz he voted for Obama once?

And not once did he mention feeling betrayed by Trump because of the masked goons abducting, imprisoning, and deporting people without due process.

So many Libertarians don't seem to have a fucking clue about Liberty.

Like 95% of libertarians aren't even libertarians.. they're embarrassed GOP bigots. They don't even know the first thing about libertarianism.

theres also the types that put on a veneer of being "center right" too, those are the scummiest.

The NH libertarian party is a perfect example of it being fulled with non-libertarians. Pretty sure the main party has completely denounced them at this point.

No true libertarian, amirite?

Maybe it's because he's pro choice, that thing that used to be one of the libertarian selling points years ago

That stood out to me, too:

If the presidential election were held today – with the same candidates – I would sit out. I would not vote for Chase Oliver, the 2024 Libertarian Party's presidential nominee, because he is way too left-wing and alienating to a lot of libertarians. That’s why so many went to Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Reading it again, I caught something I hadn't before:

"I would sit out."

Not, "I would vote against Trump", but "I would do nothing, allow this to play out exactly like it is, and be able to say it's not my fault."

While everybody knows that it's exactly their fault.
