☆☆☆ Fake Libertarian check-in ☆☆☆

A safe-space thread for all the Deplorables who desperately want to re-brand themselves as Libertarian. (Which they aren't; not even close.)

Do you know what Libertarians stand for? All I know is decriminalizing drugs but I am sure there is more to it.

He's referring to (trolling for) AJ.

They are too scared to claim Rethuglican.

Who is AJ?

Yup.

Around where I live, it's easy to get the fake ones (and there are a lot of them) to shut their traps:

"So, you're 'pro-choice' on abortion?"
"Um...."
"Do you want the state and / or fed to limit abortion?"
"Um....well, yes, but..."
"Fake. STFU."

Easy.

There are various stripes of libertarian, but the kind of libertarian who trolls the PB would want to call themselves free market libertarians, modeled after Ayn Rand etc. Left libertarians are more sensible, and I even have a fair amount to agree with them.

Yeah, true. I am pro-choice. I think it can leave an impact on the person getting an abortion, but so can childbirth and so can having an actual kid. I have seen abortions done for medical and non-medical reasons and agree with what someone thinks they can handle or not.

I am a big believer in someone who doesn't want to get a person pregnant, GET A VASECTOMY. Saves abortions, right?

I suspect that most Americans are to the right of the social status quo, and to the left of the economic status quo. In short, they are opposite to libertarians. If either party recognized that, and adopted appropriate policies, it would dominate the United States

The Cato Institute is a leading libertarian think tank, and their views on immigration are the opposite of Trump and the MAGAs. Lots of good articles to read at their site.

We had fake libertarians around here calling for book burning. I mean what the hell did they think libertarianism was?

Yup. "Libertarians."

The evangelical Right re-branded as them years ago. Not all of 'em...but most. Deplorables are doing the same.

It's pretty simple really. Deplorables are the ultimate control freaks..

For voting purposes, they are the useful idiots of oligarchs.

Point blank, they are a danger to America. They are enemy one, traitors, and truly keep the country from being great. I don't care if they get screwed by the felon's policies, I just hate that it affects everyone else, too.

 

[RoryN]

Fake Libertarians here aren't checking in.

Further proof of how chickenshit they are.
