> social media veers right this just confirms what i've suspected for a long time - the libertarian minority is actually the swing group. everyone laughs at them and takes them for granted until they switch sides. elon used to be a democrat. rogan used to be a bernie-bro, trump himself was very moderate, etc. they "veered right", because their old allies were constantly shitting on them. conservatives are way too uptight and rulecucking to actually win on their own. they only ever win when they get seduced into doing the necessary by a libertarian ally. always reminds me of this scene:   icn-8ex4   he's been given loads of stuff by sportsmen. like ancient warriors used to bring back loot and give a choice piece to their king as tribute. it's like they recognised at some instinctive level that he was their natural ruler before he even ran for office.   yvvm6ipe
