    The article is truly representative of a sleazy drama - and that’s putting it nice. We learn that Oliver condemned the post:

    Chase Oliver, the Libertarian Party’s presidential nominee, condemned the since-deleted post.

    That’s great.

    But then the LPNH responded - to him - their candidate leader, I stress… as follows:

    The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire responded to Oliver’s statement, telling him to “f*** off” and “read any book on libertarianism.” They went on to call him a homophobic slur.

    It’s seemingly out of The Onion - except it’s for real.

        Hey hey, many of those dipshits moved into NH to try and take over the state because we already had slightly crazy politics.

        Because NH has 400 stare representatives (and 24 more state senators), it’s easy to get morons elected in small towns. As with most libertarian “plans” though, it didn’t work for very long.

          I always wonder why democrats don’t form a plan to take over Wyoming. It’s a very small state. Get together 100k people to move out there over the course of the next decade or so. It’s a lovely state too.

        American libertarianism is great. Most of them have vastly different ideas of what libertarianism is or should be, and none of those ideas work.

    Libertarians are truly the most oppressed minority.

    NH Libertarians describing themselves

    Yall chucklefucks do know that that saying is meant to be used derisively, right? Fuck, even African/Native American trans folks don’t genuinely refer to themselves as “the most oppressed minority” and you fucks certainly aren’t more oppressed than them.

    Also, just for anyone who isn’t aware the NH Libertarians are famously batshit insane beyond MAGA or regular Libertarians.

      People that want to be able to yell “fire” in packed theatres without consequences and own nuclear weapons at home are truly the most oppressed ideology.
