Economic Liberty. It's been depressed for so long by Progressive bullshit. Thank goodness that's done with and we get to see Economic Liberty get some play.

You don't even know that Trump won by rejecting free trade. He's Pat Buchanan, only he was on Teevee first, so it went over better.
 
Your awful candidate lost.

I couldn't be happier.

So, your Johnson lost and you couldn't be happier?

It never seemed like you supported him in the first place, so I'm not surprised.

Suuuuuure. But we've not had "free" trade.

Guess what?

Trump's cabinet is all Russian plants.

Or pod people.

Or whatever helps you sleep at night.

I'm happy he got 4M votes. If we can drag the republican or democratic party, kicking and screaming if need be, to empowering the people, so be it.

I'm so happy your shitty candidate lost. I'm happy we are likely to see less authoritarian rule instead of more.

Yes, those 4M votes really changed the world, all right.

Really. Didn't realize you did drugs tonight. Hope you have a safe trip.

Those 4M votes are better than the 1M from the previous election. The People will come around and realize authoritarian big government is responsible for much of the misery in the world.

I don't do drugs these days, unless they're prescribed by a doctor. You insist on making stuff up and being wrong so much of the time!
 
A conservative talk-show host blasts the Trump turn.

Charlie Sykes said:
In short, I was under the impression that conservatives actually believed things about free trade, balanced budgets, character and respect for constitutional rights. Then along came this campaign.

Sounds like someone who a person with libertarian impulses should be listening to. He's pretty much dead on about this:

Charlie Sykes said:
What they did buy into was the argument that this was a “binary choice.” No matter how bad Mr. Trump was, my listeners argued, he could not possibly be as bad as Mrs. Clinton. You simply cannot overstate this as a factor in the final outcome. As our politics have become more polarized, the essential loyalties shift from ideas, to parties, to tribes, to individuals. Nothing else ultimately matters.

In this binary tribal world, where everything is at stake, everything is in play, there is no room for quibbles about character, or truth, or principles. If everything — the Supreme Court, the fate of Western civilization, the survival of the planet — depends on tribal victory, then neither individuals nor ideas can be determinative. I watched this play out in real time, as conservatives who fully understood the threat that Mr. Trump posed succumbed to the argument about the Supreme Court. As even Mr. Ryan discovered, neutrality was not acceptable; if you were not for Mr. Trump, then you were for Mrs. Clinton.

Read the whole thing. It ends thus:

Charlie Sykes said:
We destroyed our own immunity to fake news, while empowering the worst and most reckless voices on the right.

This was not mere naïveté. It was also a moral failure, one that now lies at the heart of the conservative movement even in its moment of apparent electoral triumph. Now that the election is over, don’t expect any profiles in courage from the Republican Party pushing back against those trends; the gravitational pull of our binary politics is too strong.

I’m only glad I’m not going to be a part of it anymore.

Exactly! Look at the hellhole that is Scandanavia compared with the utopia of Somalia.
 
Um, why not? Surely anarchy is VERY small government, is it not?
Nice try, but not even close.

That kind of bad reasoning might make Clinton look good.

Hint: bad reasoning, Clinton is gone forever.

Small government includes military, the mint, post office, courts, etc.

Next weak claim from you is... ?
