Libertarians booed Donald Trump during his speech at their national convention. Then they selected a presidential candidate who supports vaccine mandates and open borders, all while claiming their goal is to “become ungovernable.” This illustrates the dubious notion that libertarians are small-government purists. It also reinforces a deeper premise, one held by the Founding Fathers: Political parties are not the answer. In this episode, TNA’s editorial staff use the libertarian debacle as a jumping off point to discuss how tribalistic allegiances blind people to the principles we should hold lawmakers accountable and the how Americans can smash the stranglehold of the part system.
