Give you one better.
They’re the vanguard, telling the people of what to beware and their own road to serfdom is nearly upon.
Instead, they are attacked, marginalized and besmirched as kooks/crazies by the same people whom should be barking the warning themselves.
Too many people to try to shoo under the Big Tent. Freebies to some minority for votes....Not a dimes difference anymore.

There are Libertarians IN the GOP in public office. Being there and being in office THEY are heard more often and more effectively than the barely visible (to the public) “vanguard” you speak of. As such, they are a much more effective Libertarian voice than the entire out of office, out of view Libertarian party.
My challenge to the Libertarian party members is that they are mistaken as to how much more effective they could be, using their own caucus in the grass roots, establishing their own “Republican” clubs and being very active, as Republicans in GOP primaries. I think they themselbes would be surprised at how much more they can be that “vanguard” IN government, in producing policies and solutions IN government. My challenge to them is they are mistaken if they think that is ever achieved by never making working allies with others who may not be as “pure” as you but are closer to you than everyone else.
It is a narcisstic “vangard” that does not really have a program for becoming part of the solution. Always crying in the wilderness is not what must be, but it is what they have chosen.
