      An another point is that the Paul Movement, as opposed to libertarian intellectuals (all 41 of them), has/had a HUGE amount of overlap with Trumpism. People, core policies, websites, aesthetics, foreign policy.https://twitter.com/heerjeet/status/1010617871733575680 …

      ??? Among libertarian intellectuals there has been a lot of angst about how Rothbard-Rockwell-Rand-Paul-Ron-Paul tradition has been gateway to alt-right & Trumpism. Worth reading @willwilkinson on this.

      Right, there's a lot of evidence that the people who went for Paul in 2012 became early Trumpists in 2015/2016. Was a big concern in Paul campaign.

          Any links for this research? I’d be very interested in seeing it as the tinfoil/libertarian crowf’s embrace of Trump and his authoritarian tendencies has been a true curiosity to me. Especially since they are all about how they’ll water the tree of liberty and so forth.

          There was an article in the Atlantic many years ago (B. Schwarz?) about: the loudest and perhaps most eloquent advocates for 'liberty' at the Constitutional convention were slave owners.

          Paul wasnt a white supremacist. He really didnt care for white supremacists. But if a more or less mainstream candidate doesnt care for white supremacists (instead of blasting them) well, a ton of supremacists will end up supporting that candidate.
