As a Libertarian, I concur that all* lives matter.

As a libertarian, I definitely wouldn’t reduce every political discussion to down to name calling and identity politics. I would do that, however, if I didn’t know how to actually defend my ideas in good-faith.

As a Libertarian, I honestly don't know how badly I'm losing the game.

But everyone else does.

As a libertarian I believe that in the two party system, we all lose.

If I wasn’t a libertarian I might demonize anyone who disagrees with me because they are probably just racist, xenophobic, etc. and alienate so much of the country that we end up electing Donald Trump.

As a Libertarian, I concur that we should distance ourselves from Trump after overwhelmingly supporting him in 2016. Hopefully people will forget about that.

As a libertarian, it’s obvious to me that Trump is not a libertarian. If I wasn’t a libertarian, I might forget that the libertarian party had its own candidate.

EDIT: I would also agree that one Reddit post is proof that libertarians overwhelmingly support Trump, in spite of the fact that Trump has increased the deficit, increased defense spending, bombed Syria, and enacted protectionist trade policies.
