    I’m appalled by the people I meet who call them selves libertarian. Most of who are just conservatives that started smoking weed after seeing Joe Rogan do it.

    I thought that was the joke about Libertarians since…forever - “Republicans who smoke weed”.

      I mean they are a type who is attracted to the political ideals. Perhaps that type took over the party. Idk I hold a pretty rigid standard on who gets to call themselves libertarian. You gotta be ready to put your life down for someone else’s liberty. The dudes that volunteered to help Ukraine? Those are real libertarians. Putting your life and liberty at risk to defend the next man’s.
