People will vote libertarian. And proudly boast about it. To this day you will still find people, even here at FR, who boast about voting for Perot and would do so again.
This is about the “near future” not to mention distant future of America. With the major parties so so so so far apart idealogically, there is too much at stake. It really comes down to good vs. evil but many can’t see it that way.
Off topic, but Perot was right. He was a gun grabber, but right on trade and the debt. Trump ran on such concerns. Bush lost because he had no answers and concerns for the Republic.
Perot wasn’t a libertarian. Just one of three rotten choices on the 1992 ballot.
