    Trump did sometimes earn cheers from the crowd, including when he talked about ending wars, pardoning Jan. 6 protesters, protecting cryptocurrency, denying money to schools with vaccine or mask mandates, and defunding diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. The most applause came when he promised to commute the life sentence of Ross Ulbricht, who has been imprisoned for operating a website that sold illegal goods.

    So this should tell you where libertarians stand on. A sandwich of two things worth cheering for and a whole lot of disgusting things to cheer for in the middle.

        Other way around. They want crypto to be protected from government interference.

      …why is defunding diversity, equity, and inclusion programs worth cheering for?

        The two things worth cheering for would be the beginning- ending wars, and the end- commuting Ross Ulbricht’s sentence.

        Hence it being a sandwich.

          Lmao, my bad. I parsed that sentence separately from the rest of the list (which was all one sentence).
