    Historically, large political parties have often stolen issues & ideas from smaller parties (Bryan from populists, FDR from socialists, Nixon from George Wallace). With the Libertarian Party going MAGA we're seeing for the first time a small party mimicking a large one.

        Libertarians returning to their roots. The libertarian moment was a delusion, the ideology has always been illiberal.

        The issue that should most animate libertarians is police killings (government depriving someone of life w.o due process). The fact that it doesn't is . . . telling.

        PPC mimicking Republicans, or Conservatives, or Libertarians?

        "going"? Libertarians have always been "taxation is theft" Republicans who just want to smoke weed.

        I've been following politics in this country for more than 25 years and I've never met a libertarian who wasn't a wanna be authoritarian fascist

        I met one - the state director for Paul's 2012 campaign & my neighbor. Once, he was talking of living in Libertarian Utopias on abandoned oil tankers - no law but guns/drugs. LOLing, I asked what happens when I roll up w/more guns & ppl, kill him as an example & become dictator?pic.twitter.com/P1rP1i3hns

        Wait, what did I miss? What did the Libertarian party do? But yeah, right wing libertarianism has co-opted original left-wing libertarianism. Republicans know the label “Republican” is a turn off to most of the country, so conservatives call themselves libertarians instead.

        MAGA movement not yet old enough for libertarians to lose interest.
