(I would have posted this sooner, but someone in my life had a minor medical emergency. He is relatively fine now, and went on a rant about the US healthcare system. I hope this experience makes him want to register to vote.)

So I saw a few of my fellow Democrats giving Libertarians some credit for booing Trump when he was speaking at their convention. As a former Libertarian, I can assure you that not of them were booing Trump, and not all of them were booing for the right reasons. The LNC invited TFG, Brainworm Man, and even Joe Biden to speak at their convention. They knew Biden wasnt coming because thePresident of the United States has better things to do than talk to Libertarians.

I know all this because I used to be a Libertarian and Iwas raised by a Libertarian. Dad was very unhappy with his career working for the federal government. Instead of quitting, (our family need his salary and benefits), he started reading libertarian literature and even donated to the LP. During the 20th century, the Libertarian Party was the party of marriage equalityand marijuanalegalization, issues that were political poison until recently. As a idealistic young man, that level of commitment appealed to me. I felt that the Libertarian Party was the party of the future.

I had the dubious privilege of being the chairman of the Libertarian Party of Allen County, Indiana during the COVID-19 pandemic. I advised members to stay home as much as theycould.I attended meetings via Zoom. I even said to comply with Indianas mask mandate because we would be able to accomplish more ifwe avoided getting sick or arrested.

They finally voted me out as chair after I denounced the J6 riot as a terrorist attack and blamed the attack on Trump. They were repeating a lot of Trumps talking points about election integrity.

Some Libertarians are smart enough to recognize that Trump is a threat to their freedom. But there are Libertarians who want Trump to be President, either because they want Trump to crash the system or because they think they have something else to gain from a Trump dictatorship.
