There is no Libertarian Solution to a Pandemic

 

I don't have a pandemic photo this time, just your random patriot. These people with the gun rights and so on tend to be libertarian. And a good number of them voted for the Libertarian candidate before but for Trump in 2016.

Now we are nearly four years into the Trump presidency. Those people really did want Trump to put jokers in charge of departments, so that the government does as little as possible.

Mandates and wide testing, quarantines, those are not for libertarians. They will also not take a vaccination. There are no US wide measures they would agree with. Possibly they would agree to keep foreign travelers out, but that is not of any help anymore.

Now we are in a pandemic. The libertarians are in favor of opening everything. Because they can take care of themselves. That is the key word. The libertarian is not really interested in how you do or how well you survive.

The federal troops That trump sent to Seattle, those the libertarian does not care for. They do not want an authoritarian leader. So the Trump experiment went a little wrong there. But a good portion of libertarians do not live in cities, they live in rural and suburban areas where you have some property to guard and all that. So the riots and Trump gorillas are not the worst. They may vote for Trump again.

The flag I have in the picture, that is part of the libertarian mind set. They do love their idea of the country.
