    Back in the day, I went through a Libertarian phase. I supported Ron Paul.

    You and the entirety of reddit in the 2012 election I think. To be fair, there’s plenty liberals and libertarians agree on. Unfortunately, you can share some common beliefs with someone and they can still be a piece of shit.

      I was ahead of the curve and liked Ron Paul in early 2008. He made some damn good points about the housing market back in 2007. Turns out he was right and the market collapsed.

      That bought him some credibility, but then the Tea Party happened. It was ugly enough that I took a harder look at Paul.
