Where does this leave someone like me, politically?
I am essentially a moderate libertarian, but the LP is a party of idealists afraid to actually implement their ideas, out of fear that the real world might tarnish their purity.
Republicans are essentially broken. Trump took over completely, got rid of everyone else, and then now he's gone. Not sure what's left, but at this point it doesn't seem promising.
Democrats seem OK on paper, but (feel free to disagree with the following) seems to be getting taken over by people who don't actually like the country, its culture, and frankly a large number of its people. Many of the policies being proposed seem more likely to go the way of Venezuela than Denmark. I am not saying most Democrats are this way, but the powerful ones in the party seem to be. EDIT: let me add that I don't feel welcome in the Democratic party unless I toe the far-left line on every issue. If I out myself as a libertarian, I feel like I'd be pushed away from polite society as fast as Alex Jones.
And I don't feel this type of discussion can really happen many places (aside from HN maybe) because the left is completely in control of all media now, and all education.
