I was assuming libertarians would behave logically, but as we we saw in
2016 that turned out to be a unwarranted assumption.

NO! Trump didn't get all the votes or most of the votes or even a plurality
of the votes, Clinton
got
2,864,974 more votes than Trump
yet Trump is now our leader, and no amount of whitewash can ever eliminate that
stain on our nation. History will not look kindly at this.
