In this edition, a libertarian who voted for Trump is surprised that Trump is going after Thomas Massie and Rand Paul.
minus-squareRhynoplaz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up38·2 days agoI had a friend who discovered Libertarianism years ago. He tried to explain it to me and get me on board. Some highlights from that conversation: “What’s better, Coke or Pepsi? WRONG! Dr. pepper is better, but you didn’t say it because nobody told you it was an option!” “Imagine the country how it is now, but you have the freedoms to become rich.” “Poor people vote for Dems, so the Dems want you to stay poor so you’ll keep voting for them” He just talked in circles and didn’t want to hear how crazy he sounded. “It just sounds crazy, because we’ve never experienced it before.” I hope he eventually got over all that. He was otherwise a very smart guy.
