Trump will speak at 2024 con of Libertarian Party, who once called him "the opposite of libertarian"

As I said in the other thread there needs to be more organized heckling of Trump if this is how he lilts when confronted.

Trump is much more libertarian than Biden.
In fact, Biden is 100% anti-libertarian.

Libertarians have to choose between two evils, and they will choose the lesser evil.

More like Trump is 100% anti libertarian and antithetical to freedom in every way. It's a cult for people so desperate to be told what to do they'll let a moron like Trump do it. Even the weirdos still left in the LP know this.

"If you post a meme they don't like, they wanna throw you in jail." - Fmr. President Donald Trump, 2024 Libertarian National Convention

Admittedly defending the right to meme is a good way to reach the LP since that's all they do. Trump's not really the right vehicle for that argument since he's the guy who wants to be able to sue people for criticizing him and made a genuine effort to prosecute someone in the Congressional gallery for laughing at Mike Pence.

So the libertarian party appears to have nominated Chase Oliver. Looking at his wikipedia article, he seems to be very socially liberal, probably about as left as biden on most social issues other than gun rights. he was also the libertarian candidate in the 2022 Georgia senate election and got 2% there.

This is pretty much the norm for the LP outside of the Bob Barr aberration in 2008.

He's also openly gay which has to make him one of the first if not the first gay general election candidate ever. Googled it and all I found was Mayor Pete articles. Might have been another third party candidate at some point though.

And he supports abolishing ICE, taking in refugees and having open borders.
He's just running as a pro-gun, economically conservative, pro-civil liberties Biden.

second and third ones encompass a pretty huge array of issues. Which most people ignore in favor of the handful of culture war wedge issues and "vibes" unfortunately.
