There were some cheers, but louder boos, as Donald Trump stepped on stage at the Libertarian National Convention on Saturday.
Even before Trump arrived at the political convention in Washington, D.C., there were numerous Libertarian delegates booing when his name was even mentioned. One crowd me.....
You do not, under any circumstances, "Gotta hand it to the libertarians"
They are morons who want basically all the same things the republican fascists do. They just want it to happen by magic rather than increasing government overreach and oppression.
I went through a few months talking to self-defined libertarians after the modern resurgence who couldn't explain what the difference between libertarianism and anarchism was once anarchism was sociologically defined for them.
Usually they couldn't define the difference between libertarianism and the current system they lived inside.
"No, see, instead of having public school, you would just like get together with your neighbors and friends everyone would pay some money to some teacher you all selected and vetted, and then all the kids would go to that guy's house and learn from them. But like just your community."
So less efficient public school?
"No, it's like if instead of firemen, you just got together with your neighbors and you all employed like a few firemen and your group could pay into this fund that-"
Right, less efficient civil service.
"But you could control the group better!"
So like a private club that has to individually manufacturer and manage all of the needs of your neighborhood?
"No, just like a group that contributes money to the services they need. It's just way better than taxes."
No no, they’re just upset he’s going to take their rights. The moment they get a chance, they’ll vote for someone who is willing to take yours. Don’t feel pity or respect, they did it to themselves.
It entered his mind before that when he instructed his lawyers to state that he should be allowed to send Seal Team 6 after his political opponents. They are his lawyers speaking on his behalf.
It was a weird noise. It was definitely boos in there, but it was also cheers. A soupy kind of rumble with cheers on top
He said "I'm a Libertarian now" which - was so bald-faced even the cheering crowd took a beat to go "wtf". I'm sure the RNC isn't planning to hand over their cash anytime soon.
He said they should vote for him for PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED- and it just got . . . louder? Like not cheery but just louder?
But they pissed him off so he said "oh, unless you want to lose. You want to lose, don't [vote for me]. Yeah just keep getting your 3% every time" which - lol.
Demented Rapist Meets The Libertarians is about exactly right.
Considering there were probably a large group of people who showed up just to see Trump, and that it is more awkward to boo than it is to clap, I think that was actually a pretty decent showing.
