Trump has been charged by the Department of Justice with the following four counts:
-
A conspiracy to defraud the United States “by using dishonesty, fraud and deceit to obstruct the nation’s process of collecting, counting, and certifying the results of the presidential election,” according to the special counsel’s office.
-
A conspiracy to impede the Jan. 6 congressional proceeding at which the collected results of the presidential election are counted and certified.
-
A conspiracy against the right to vote and to have that vote counted.
-
Obstruction of, and attempt to obstruct and impede, the certification of the electoral vote.
In criminally charging former president Donald Trump for his efforts to reverse his 2020 election loss, federal prosecutors allege that Trump enlisted six co-conspirators to “assist him in his criminal efforts to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election and retain power.”

I have a conservative leaning (they mostly call themselves libertarian) who aren’t exactly pro Trump, but anti liberal.
I find it extremely weird how anti Trans they are, considering they’re accepting of homosexuals in a “sure, whatever, doesnt bother me” and “might have an acquaintance or two that are gay” kind of way. But the idea of Trans people existing somehow threatens their children really is prevalent in that group.
They grew up in an environment where gay acceptance was pushed hard in school and society, and they seem to be on board because of it. But changing ones own genitalia somehow bypasses all of those lessons.
It’s maddening how they fall for this rage bait bullshit that their media pushes.
If they are anti-trans then the “libertarian” schtick is just obfuscation and authoritarian virtue signaling.
Definitely. I think the libertarian branding is more just an excuse to not be blamed for the actions of the republican party. “I didn’t vote for them, I voted independent”.
But yes, their brand of libertarian is “I should have the freedom to enroll Mt kids in a school that represents my morality, even if that morality is stripping away rights of someone else”
It’s become so bad that my local/state Libertarian candidates last election were further right than many of the Republicans with almost the same talking points. Who can we protest vote for now that supports gun rights, freedom of/from religion, abortion rights, gay marriage, and targeted/effective limited government that only provides for national defense, interstate commerce, and the common good through a UBI and national healthcare funded with a fair proportional tax? The party has left the actual libertarians behind.
The Libertarian party has never been libertarian as far as I’m concerned.
If you keep looking for perfect candidates over a dozen issues, you will never find anyone to vote for. My main concern is that a candidate not be a corporate tool. It’s amazing how all the other issues tend to fall in place when a candidate isn’t bought.
110% with you there, but since bribery and graft is legal in the US only corporate tools get selected by the corporate parties. This is further reinforced by keeping the 2 party system entrenched with FPTP voting. I know I’ll never get perfect to vote for, but I’d like to at least get an option that would earn a C+ or higher to vote for.
I feel exactly the same. However, I’ve come to believe that the answer isn’t in the politicians, it’s the people. The people do ultimately have the power to fix it, but most are too ignorant, apathetic, or caught up in conspiracy theories. Local networks and door to door drudge work are probably the best answer we’ve got.
I’m convinced they are terrified of finding a trans woman attractive. From time to time the ones “Ok with Gays” are only ok with the flamboyant stereotype. Find a Traditionally Masculine presenting gay man and they get weird around them too.
When I hear Libertarian I immediately think of liberals. Which is funny because I’m old enough to remember when the republicans would call people who liked freedom, smoking weed and voting for Bernie a liberal as an insult. You hear “libtard” a whole lot less nowadays because there really wouldn’t be much room to distinguish between the two.
I can’t remember who said it, but:
“Libertarians are just Republicans with bongs.”
They did their absolute best to turn “liberal” into a slur. Definitely on purpose - one of the ways Fox anchors manipulate people, for instance, is to make exaggerated displeased faces and sneering or disdainful tones of voice when they say certain words or discuss certain ideas or people.
Anyway, I think that’s why some people chose to start using the term Progressive.
