Libertarians are by definition a selfish bunch but the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire (where the state motto of Live Free or Die is emblazoned on every license plate) can now add wishful murderous thinking to the list of extremely unattractive qualities that they possess.
Thats a conclusion supported by a post that someone in the New Hampshire Libertarian Partys social media department decided was completely appropriate to distribute on Twitter on this Presidents Day of 2023.
The tweet proclaims their partys utter lack of respect for the office of the presidency in this country and then goes on to demonstrate actual complete contempt for our system of government by appearing to endorse the removal of anyone holding the presidency via assassination.
Its difficult to interpret their post any other way, given the fact that these New Hampshire Libertarians illustrated their statement that they can at least respect the way some of them ended with photos of the four American presidents whose lives were ended by an assassins bullet.

CHEYENNE, WYAfter attempting to contain a living-room blaze started by a cigarette, card-carrying Libertarian Trent Jacobs reluctantly called the Cheyenne Fire Department Monday. Although the community would do better to rely on an efficient, free-market fire-fighting service, the fact is that expensive, unnecessary public fire departments do exist, Jacobs said. Also, my house was burning down. Jacobs did not offer to pay firefighters for their service.

Libertarianism is just nuts. It's filled with people who never matured beyond the age of 10. A view of the world that's totally divorced from reality.
