this is my point. People like Charlie Kirk came out of this wing of the movement. He was moved by Thomas Woods. He loved the views of Thomas Massie.

Your tent grew because libertarians were shrinking.

2016 Gary Johnson ~3.28%

2020 Jo Jorgensen ~1.18%

2024 Chase Oliver ~0.4%

The number of libertarian votes were shrinking, yes, while at the same time Trump was saying that Iran should never get a nuclear weapon.

I'm not seeing a problem here.

Massie and Kirk aren't the same people.

Kirk worked with Trump to move Trump's agenda forward.

While Kirk worked with Trump, Massie worked to stop Trump.
