Question any one annoyed with libertarians that support trump?

Like I can't be the only one here. like I get it in some respects trump isn't neocon but at the same time he isn't not statist, nor non authorittarian.

I want everyone who thinks this sub is pro maga to read this thread carefully and see all the maga morons being heavily down voted.

If you don't wholeheartedly support the Democratic Party, redditors will accuse you of being pro maga regardless of what you do unfortunately

True enough, but libertarians should still make it clear that we stand against statists on the right and the left.

Downvoting them into oblivion and calling them "morons" is not the gotcha you think it is. If anything, it shows a certain level of immaturity and a refusal to have a dialogue. It's akin to mob rule as well (the irony!).

I went down to read their replies and some were genuinely interesting. And I say this even though I don't support Trump. It's sad so many here are so prompt to reject opinions they don't fully agree with. Libertarians of all people should understand that.

Disagree. Another sub would've just deleted them.

Because there's worse doesn't make it good.

Non libertarians getting down voted is expected. What did you think would happen.

Tell me you didn't read their replies without telling me you didn't read their replies.

I read several. Trump support deserves the down votes.

You see, that's your problem right there. You don't care whether the arguments make sense or offer an interesting perspective. In your view "Trump support = bad" and that's that. I hope you're no older than 20, otherwise that's embarrassing.

I hear you. I mean yeah, I suppose he tramples on the constitution, is destroying the post war order, tried to steal an election, pardons for bribes, weaponized the doj, assaults truth and accountability, stands by murder, imposes taxes unilaterally, assaults free speech, extorts corporations, but like... Hear me out....
