No, you don't know that. "Libertarian" is a really broad range of people.

Yes, there are people who hate Hillary, and some of that is pathological, but you can hate Hillary non-pathologically even though she isn't running. There's no need for someone to be running for office for them to be hated. There are people who have committed horrible crimes against humanity, such as Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, and whoever decided to add Elmyra to Pinky and the Brain, and AFAIK none of them are running for office.

All those you said are true. I mainly get frustrated because of how I deal with this from those in my inner circle. Somebody I know on Discord, a Libertarian AnCap, has a severe pathological hatred of her. He thinks she's a criminal worse than sexual abusers, and that she's on par with Hitler and Stalin, and a horrible criminal who got away with it. All that is not true on one level or another, yet it's what he thinks. He won't stop bringing her up even though I don't (and in this case, no mentions like above), except in the context of 2020 stuff, which I really don't care about, but he does it anyway. Because it's great bait and he's a horrible person.

Even so, I feel like an assessment of authoritarian is somewhat light or maybe empty considering they don't have any state backed support or recognition. Kinda the same deal as terrorists; I don't consider them as any kind of distinct authority manifestation, until maybe something happens like a coup d'etat becomes successful or the taliban takes over afghanistan.
Yopu need state backed support?

Well i guess it's in your interest to see or pretend to see it that way.
To what end are you talking about. What difference does it make?

:lol: Why do you think I hate Clinton? Sure, I don't care for some (or most) of her policy ideas, and I thought her comments toward the working class was laughable in how out of touch and insulting they were, but I don't hate her. I don't really hate anyone for that matter.

Well, thank you. You're a lot more sensible than that Libertarian I know on Discord. :D

Incidentally, in cities like Portland, they seem to have that state-backed support.
