Eh, I don’t like Libertarians. Constitutionalists, yes. Rand Paul, Thomas Massie, etc The Cato Institute types? Not so much.
Libertarians believe in freedom for multi-national corporations. Individual Liberty? Not really.
They hate nations.
I agree with the first commenter…I don’t much like Libertarians. Ter Maat was just a tad cavalier. All governments are made up of human beings like you and me. “The government is all of us…we are the government, you and I”, Teddy Roosevelt once said. Will we still be the UNITED States of America by the end of 2024? Time will tell, I guess.
