How can something implode if it never had cohesion to begin with? Or coherence for that matter.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
The only real thing they agree on is that the government shouldn't tax anyone and there shouldn't be any regulations on anything. At least according to the self-proclaimed libertarian I used to work with. Which is an asinine and immature view of how modern societies need to operate.
They never have an answer for how roads are supposed to be built or how fire and policeman are supposed to be funded. I guess they don't realize that privatizing everything would cost the individual exorbitantly more than if they just paid taxes.
If you put three libertarians in a room, the only thing on which they'll all agree is that there is only one libertarian in the room.
Libertarians are just Republicans who don't want to openly call themselves Republicans. They vote along Republican lines, support Republicans and are the Republican's useful idiots. I really don't see a difference in the actions between Republicans and libertarians, only in the b.s they spew
Plus they want to smoke weed while also believing heinous shit.
Didn't they all just go off into the mountains on their horses to live off the land and not bother anybody?
The bears routed them
Libertarians I know are the dumbest fucking people.
They're like house cats. They like to think they are autonomous and in charge, but they have no fucking clue as to all of the logistics that go into making their existence possible.
I was wondering the other day why I hadn't really seen them this cycle.
Because the GOP and extremist took over the party...so many "libertarians" today are just gop because they don't want to be labeled a repub. The NH project is a perfect example of that.
So an organization based on the founding principle of, "I've got mine, fuck you" couldn't find a way for its members to work together?
Their whole platform was only liked by people who used it to excuse their racism and pedophilia, with the modern political landscape, they've become redundant.
I love the libertarian idea, as long as you don't harm someone else or their property go for it. However the libertarian party is such a fucking joke.
