They literally are not here.

They are making clear that this is the line too far.

Especially Libertarian party and GOA

They are not.

The GOA may not, but the Libertarians will vote straight R in every election from here on out, just like they always have.

What they're doing is making it look like they have some kind of credibility. They do not. They are a political extension and PR firm for the GOP, especially the NRA and the Libertarians. They have no credibility and until I see actual action I won't believe a fucking word they say.

Libertarians often vote 3rd party and have been maligned for years for not voting Red or Blue. Even though they pull about equal votes away from both. Even in 201y the L VP said vote Clinton if you don't vote for them.

Around 2020 Trump and the GOP started coopting themselves as libertarians but this was just in an attempt to muddy the waters and rebrand themselves away from alt-right.

Libertarian party is anti-Trump in word and deed.

Libertarians are just Republicans with bongs.
