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

Yup. When you think about it, if you were really libertarian you'd have an electric car and maybe stand up a wind turbine and some solar panels in your yard. That way you wouldn't be dependent on complex oil refineries and a global oil system, the majority of which is directly owned by foreign governments.

But how many libertarians actually do this? Really libertarianism is about a vague feeling of distrust in the government and it doesn't actually go any deeper than that.

Real libertarians would just be anarcho-communists since you really need some sort of community to cover the gaps in your abilities.

There's a reason ancient farming communities almost universally shared food communally. One bad harvest and you're dead.
