As a medical user, I really hope she will stick to this if elected. Trump is doing more “leave it up to the states” bullshit except specifically for Florida and no other state.

    To me, a European, he was one of the very few, if any, candidates that made sense and seemed consistent in how he voted and spoke. And I consider myself to be quite libertarian.

    I don’t really understand your remark to be honest, other than shoehorning the “he made a racist remark” thing into the conversation. Perhaps you could elaborate.

      The point is that Ron Paul was a true, modern, libertarian in that his “freedom” and “liberty” shtick was always about freedom to do segregation via “freedom of association” and other such nonsense. Ron Paul created the libertarian to fascist pipeline because libertarianism has mever been anything but veiled racism

        Your entire theory hinges on a racist remark that he didn’t even write and was possibly unaware of. Unless I’m missing something groundbreaking on page 2 and 3 of that article which I can’t read because it’s paywalled.

        Is there anything Ron Paul did politically that would suggest fascist ideologies? The word is thrown around a lot these days.
