Rand Paul said the big bill is bullshit. I agree.

Musk agreed.

Trump took it personal, threaten to cut spaceX

Musk said Trump is in the Epstein files.



The hilarious dysfunction is reminiscent about what recently happened at debateart.

That should make you all feel worse.

First impression: I’m taking Musk’s side here. 

For too long we have had this cycle:

-Dem elected president
-Dem completely and utterly fucks the economy
-Repub gets elected
-Repub helps only marginally, sometimes makes things worse
-Dem elected

The libertarian right needs to become more vocal.

Damn straight.

My read of this is 75%: Musk is the real dude and Trump sold out America to the bad guys in return for his victory comeback.

I always was suspicious of how the election issues just evaporated.

That being said, a better leader for the libertarian right is in order. We can do better than Musk.

We need Ron Paul at the helm.

He was great, but you can't put someone in at 89.

We need a known face to rally around first. After that it shouldn’t take long to find someone younger.

I’m talking ideological figurehead here btw. It’s a strategy call. We get an established public face so that we are known/noticed, then find someone younger to promote.

Sure, but this would require hijacking MAGA in the republican party no matter what way you introduce the leader.

Do you think Vivek Ramaswamy is an option? He made the right noises.


The core issue is this: The people are generally not paying attention. Even the greater engagement of late is just die hard radicals growing in number. If people are happy in 2028 they're going to give credit to Trump and they are very likely to go with whoever he endorses.

If they aren't happy they are far more likely to just vote democrat than to primary out Trump's pick.


It is practically impossible to penetrate the rigging in the democratic party, but this would be the ideal time for an attempted libertarian takeover of the democratic party. That way the pendulum swing is with you AND there is no big names to beat out.

The other big problem with that, besides the fact that the deep state still controls the party, is that the base of the party thinks government spending solves problems. When libertarians do appeal to them it's on social issues, but there are no more sane social issues left in the left-tribe.


.... No, the only way forward is to hijack MAGA.

That could be true. 

But there's a huge possibility that Mharman's suggestion would work. Ron Paul is very influential, using a tactic like Social Proof has the potentiality to turn the tide. 
I suppose ADOL is right about the success of a plan like this would fail if MAGA's loyalty to Trump is irreversible.

Libertarianism is the most morally bankrupt ideology in existence, it needs to be utterly crushed into the ground. Vote out Rand Paul, seize all of Elon's assets and put him in Jail, scorched earth on all these people.

Sorry but your not going to sit here and fool me with "government corruption".

LET ME BE VERY CLEAR, you ONLY get rid of the deficit by touching entitlements, so good luck with that. "DOGE cuts" dont cut it.

You have no understanding of libertarianism lol.
Absolute zero.

I love how your way of combating “moral bankruptcy” is the destruction of speech and property rights.

Very moral!

Way to reveal yourself as a retarded clown lol 🤡

Turns out Musk did not buy the Presidency after all; he only rented it.

You can’t cut the deficit without cutting social security/medicare/medicaid, which is political suicide and goes against what Trump promised. Cutting fraud and waste is good but you can’t cut the deficit with just that. Gotta understand how DC works first. Plus the will only increases the deficit because of weird accounting tactics the CBO used. If the bill doesn’t pass, taxes go massively up for everyone lol

This is where libertarians fail in a lot of ways. They aren't good at strategy. yes more money is bullshit long term but this is short term because if we don't give some gibs then that's a large amount of the government exclusively controlled by the left and it makes future wins harder. In a perfect world I would agree but we are at the point where we are playing for keeps. Complete domination than we impose a libertarian monarch, preferably Barron Trump

There are no Epstein files Korea. At least none of any significance.

You don't really think three administrations sat on evidence of a criminal conspiracy to rape children do you?

Whoever was involved erased it a long time ago, or else the investigations were always a bust and the various admins have been afraid to admit that the federal "intelligence community" are useless.

We know for sure that Trump was friend with Epstein and even talked good of him, and was aware of his preference for younger women. Now, whatever happened to all information about Epstein, I dont even care enough to research. It was clearly covered up by someone.
