Gov. Greg Abbott directed the Texas Department of Transportation on Wednesday to ensure all cities and counties "remove any and all political ideologies from our streets."
Whatever happened to that “libertarian” way of thinking? Used to be that they wouldn’t listen to no goddamn politician now every one of those gadsden flag touting fucks are on their knees awaiting their favorite politician to tell them to say “ah”.
Politics are more tribal than ideological. Most people just repeat the slogans of their political tribe without putting too much thought into it. So calling out hypocrisy does nothing, most of politics isn’t really about having a consistent ideology.
Actual libertarians support people like Bernie Sanders. (Yeah, he’s big on social programs, but he’s also bigger on civil liberties than most Democrats, let alone Republicans.)
One of the corner stones of the libertarian movement was opposing global banking, and the surveillance state that bush set up. And then black president and then poof, we’re now the party of Sarah Palin?
The main stream libertarian voice and narrative was stolen in 2010 and alas we never really got them back, even in the time of tyranny. No one in power wanted us on the sidelines talking about the importance of balancing liberty and security through policy. Certainly not fiscal discipline, or accountable government. 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”.
