Haven’t we all kind of taken a look at libertarianism and said no thanks?

As I would put it, the current Libertarian Party is not the libertarianism of the Age of Enlightenment or the American Founding. It's more like the hippie movement of the 1960s. But then, I don't see any presidential candidates from any party who are libertarians of the former kind.

With the mismanagement of the populace, I think it’s going to be a lot harder to have a libertarian of the Founder’s type. I’m not even sure I fully accept that title either.

We have stoked race relations so that it is at a boiling point.

We have moved a population base into the nation that has terrorists seeded in it.

We have created more problems in the last 20 years than we have resolved.

Hopefully Trump will come in, spark a revival of sorts and folks will get busy and not have as much time for strife.
