    Yes they loved and thought the Let's Go Brandon chants were so awesome and funny.

    Bullies can dish it out but they definitely can't take it.

    These shitbags claim they're being libertarians Starvin the Beast, then end up blowing up the budget deficit when they land in control of the government while middle and poorer classes get squeezed with trash social services.

    2 for me None for you!

    What % of the country were confederates when the civil war started?

    Yep, typical GOP playbook, say incendiary things, align themselves with facist stances, then claim victimization when they are called out on them.

    Time to ignore them and just keep pounding the truth of the message, they are not victims, the MAGA movement is facist.

    There are sane Republicans who hated Trump and voted for Biden.

    It's these these Magats duty to play defense by doing the wounded "you slander some of us, you slander all of us" bit, and not split the base like Biden is trying to do.

    Jesus took care of the poor, respected women, anointed his followers with illicit drugs, and had a confrontation with the religions hypocrites of his time. MAGA has more in common with the money changers and merchants that Jesus kicked out of the Temple than to Jesus himself.

    The majority of fire departments are volunteer fire departments. You could also very easily have a private fire service in the same way there are tons of private ambulance services (like American Medical Response). The military would actually be reduced in size under a libertarian government, and not be used to go bomb people in Africa and Asia, but rather to defend the country. The corporations that want to have troops in foreign countries to protect resource extraction operations would have to hire their own mercenaries on their own dime, instead of getting Americans to foot the bill in both blood and treasure. The schools would be paid for by the people using them, just like private schools are now.
    I don't b**** about the fees I pay now, and much prefer them to my tax bills.
    Law enforcement is a legitimate state expenditure. It also is locally controlled and funded, so it is totally irrelevant to eliminating income tax (generally funded by a combination of sales taxes and fines).
    I don't know when the last time I have ever even seen a public restroom was. I haven't used one in years. Those that exist at a venue of some sort (like a national park) would just be funded with the park's use fees, as that would be part of the maintenance of the park.
    I got a really fancy car that has my own personal light source attached.
    Toll booths are outdated, now we have pay by license plate.
    Yes, or just eliminate public school altogether and privatize education. There would be some sort of charity schools that pop up as well.
    Pay as you go is how most of your life works. Paying what amounts to a huge membership fee when you don't want or use most of the services offered in the membership package is what is stupid.

    North Carolina says it will tax Biden's student-loan forgiveness, and 3 more states are likely to follow suit

    Hard to believe the most respectable republicans in 2022 are Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney.

    Perhaps we'll see Mizz make a run in 2024.

    Trying to hide behind libertarian bullshit to cover for supporting dip$hittian sycophancy is idiocy of the highest order.

    Here's a shining example of your libertarian utopia...

    Their big problem seems to be some petty squabbles. Their worst case scenario is that they become part of San Antonio if they can't work out their own issues. I would take that in a heartbeat.

    The fork of freedom is still firmly planted into the electrical outlet of patriotism.
