   Why Trump is going to the Libertarian Party convention

   "Libertarians [are]...starkly at odds with MAGA Republicanism in a number of ways. Trump is an economic protectionist who loves tariffs and who has expressed limited interest in cutting government programs like Medicare and Social Security. He wants to deport immigrants en masse, not let them into the country. He is fervently devoted to an authoritarian theory of governance"

     @gnoll110 @kcarruthers @Fu I've been a member of the LP for 22 years, and this hasn't been my expereience as to Libertarians until very recently. Then again I was one of the first to join the Libertarian Socialist Caucus of the Libertarian Party #LSC-LP when it first formed. #LibSoc

     I'm sure their love of money/power/privileged will unite them.

     I see you have a 'de' ccTLD. Here in the English speaking world, the Libertarian left don't use the term [they do exist, I know one]. The right own it, and they're are nasty lot.

     Here last year, several secretly backrolled a dis/misinformation (FUD, fear, uncertainly and doubt) campaign against a reform that could have helped a major disadvantaged group (indigenous people). They moved a polling question that had been 60+% in favour, to 39.94% of referendum day, in 15 mths
