LTs arent repelled by conservatives...at least not all of them. There are many on FR. They just keep their head down on topics we disagree on. The ones I know of most often are pretty hard right.
But even many of the ones not on board can be worked with. We at least share some values. The GOP has nothing in common with us anymore.
i’ll stick with my original statement: the libertarians i’ve talked with at length equally despise the left and and the right. that makes them nothing more than a splinter for the duration. thus, i’m not in the least worried about libertarians. now, reps have to be very worried about them.
