From 1988 to 2012, there were two factions challenging the neo-conservative dominance of the Republican Party. The first was a libertarian movement led by Ron Paul, Rand Paul's father; the second was an economic nationalist movement led by Ross Perot and Pat Buchanan. The MAGA movement is the extension of the second. Figuratively speaking, Donald Trump is the son of Perot as much as Rand is the son of Ron.

What the libertarians and advocates of Austrian economic theories must ask themselves: given the alternatives of (1) neo-conservatives and endless wars or (2) the cultural Marxism and economic imbecility of the Democrats, is the economic nationalism, reluctance to engage in foreign wars and cultural conservatism of MAGA not the preferred choice?
