Y’all know tankies, right? Alleged leftists who are actually ingroup loyalists for an ingroup vaguely related to leftism. People for whom socialism and communism and anarchism or whatever are interchangeable signifiers of an identity. They’re faking it for basic human tribalism.
Libertarians are 95% tribalists. They’ll loudly agree with grandstanding philosophical pronouncements, and shout economic slogans at the outgroup, but in practice they’re basically just Republicans, and Republicans don’t have anything left besides being a Republican. They called Newt Gingrich’s healthcare plan a communist plot when a Democrat did it.
The convention invited a bigoted fascist who repeatedly attempted to end American democracy - and this article notes they still want him to win. As if ‘extracting promises’ about some niche obsession will make up for the American right’s assault on American rights. This is the party working to ban abortion, and contraception, and being trans. People: is anything in the world more important than your precious fucking taxes?
anyone who supports trump was never a libertarian
