Guy threatens to assassinate presidential candidate
Cops: I sleep
Guy steals 3.50$ subway fare
Cops: Real shit!
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.
read any book on libertarianism
I have a suggestion.
A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear. Bonus points because it's even about New Hampshire libertarians.
American libertarianism is great. Most of them have vastly different ideas of what libertarianism is or should be, and none of those ideas work.
What you don't want to do whatever you want and pay no taxes but still want the government to supply you with infrastructure?
Seconding this book recommendation. I started skim reading it a few months ago, and it was so entertaining it pulled me in.
From what I read, it seemed like the problem was more with libertariansthan it was with libertarianism.
Like, the type of person that would leave their homes to live in a town they read about online that promises a libertarian mecha… of course it’s gonna fail. I bet if you get similar demographics of dudes that support Bernie Sanders, that town would fail too.
I don’t doubt that Libertarianism would be terrible for 99% of people, and incredible for 1%, but I doubt it would fail this spectacularly.
The problem is that American Libertarians aren't libertarian. They're masquerading economic liberals.
The reason their government has failed and always will fail. Is because they are against government itself. All but the most dogmatic, ideological, and importantly antisocial anarchist and actual libertarians recognize the need for government and it's existence. They just believe it should be largely flat, answerable, and as much as possible based in consent. Even national/federal goverment is acceptable depending on structure and ability.
American Libertarians only support government that protects their personal privilege. And nothing else.
And while it's possible for any group to fail. No other group self sabotages so completely from the start.
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.
Because the LP of NH isn't more than a bunch of bigots and racist hiding behind the LP name. It's like the worst people from every party decided to go and join it.
If you want to know why it feels like that,

That may have contributed.
O it %100 contributed to it.
Oh so, the libertarian party of....every state in the US
Did you even read the article? No it's not like every LP in every state.
...a bunch of bigots and racist...
It's like the worst people from every party decided to go and join it
Yep, just about sums up the Libertarian Party nation wide!
Libertarians are just another sect of the GOP. They are the same party.
Libertarians are even dumber than Republicans. Which is saying something.
Libertarians are just Nazis who want to be able use cryptocurrency for weed and pedophilia.
Let's be real, weed is their excuse but they all want coke and opiates.
Libertarians are repubs without the religion and/smoke weed
Importantly, they split the vote though.
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.
They are, indeed. It’s just embarrassing to the state.
If things ever get truly awful just drive west and offer to help with tree tapping!
MEEE VEEECTEEEM
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.
I cannot imagine a situation in which Kamala Harris is assassinated that doesn’t end in either president walz or a coup.
Assassination is politically unpopular even against unpopular candidates, and Walz seems extremely popular.
This shit has to stop. 🤬
Careful she has a red light saber! Pretty sure she is a sith?
Thank goodness - I thought maybe I was the only one who saw that!
Just two nerds alone on the Internet.
Make it three.
Don't make it weird.
Any of you other dorks think she's holding it at a dooku-like angle?
She isn't actually holding anything. All those lights are light sabers that she is levitating behind her, with her mind!!!
This is how civil wars start...
I think that's been the Russian plan. Break cohesion and let us flounder. Murdock, whether he fully knows it or not, is useful to that end.
honestly im kinda surprised we didn't get a lot of violence when trump lost in 2020
edit: I meant a full civil war
From memory and a couple quick Google searches
I wouldn't say there was just a little violence after the 2020 loss
they've been off their rocker for a while
Wait til you hear what ancaps are saying.
I have a feeling that Oliver is not going to be elected as the party president... considering the whole being a insert homophobic slur here and all.
lol. Not at all controlled by Russia

OK, now I'm thinking the LPNH is a troll, because their response to the party leader is funny as hell.
