Libertarians for Trump

[dblack]

Aren't.

 

[MarathonMike]

Why?

 

[BlackFlag]

Why?

Because it is the polar opposite to populism

 

[The Irish Ram]

So all ten are against Trump?

 

[MarathonMike]

Why?

Because it is the polar opposite to populism

Libertarians are the polar opposite of populists? Since when? Why would a limited government philosophy be anti-populist? That doesn't make sense to me.

Opposing free markets and limiting social freedoms are not tenets of Libertarianism.

One of the reasons I'm not a Libertarian party member is because strict Libertarians tend to be too rigidly ideological. They don't know how to dial it back a notch or two. Take Ron Paul for example. I loved the guy and supported him until he made a total ass hat of himself by proclaiming we should legalize all drugs. I mean, that was just a bridge too far for me.

I consider myself to be a Conservative-Libertarian but I realize I live in a representative democracy where other people have opinions too. Sometimes we have to find ways to compromise. To maintain our core convictions but accept that society might not always agree with us and we should seek ways to work together. I don't agree with Trump on everything but I'm willing to give the man a chance and see what happens because the alternative is unpalatable.
