In terms of how far away from the truth, yeah, libertarians are the most deranged. But liberals are straight up bloodthirsty and don't mind putting us on the edge of nuclear war. Republicans are, well, even worse than that. Libertarians are more of a meme and while their policies would surely be disastrous, they usually can at least be trusted to oppose wars. Usually.

    Trump was a meme too, and see where the meme got us.

    Damn, it sounds like the opposing candidate should've campaigned better. Or you know, not support trump in the primary.

    They did the exact same thing they're doing now, they're asking the DNC friendly media to focus on Trump (not that they need encouragement) and not focus on other candidates as much, with the assumption that Trump winning the primary means an easy win for Biden. It failed in 2016 and they're too up their own asses to realize they need a new strategy.
