Somewhere in Florida, there are stranded Libertarians, living without internet or power or a dependable water source

[Baitball Blogger]

and they're screaming at the government for dragging their feet with the recovery.

You have to feel for them. They're living in the world their politics call for, and they won't make it to the week without jumping in their cars to find some public road to make it to the nearest La Quinta.

7. A classic.

2. They should be screaming at DeSatan and the GQP..................................

but you are correct, they hate the government until disaster happens and what they want or need.

3. I'm desperately trying to come up with something clever to...

Say. But, all I can come up with is a boring fable about ants and grasshoppers.



Maybe they can fashion a raft by lashing together their crypto with boot straps?

4. Worse still...

...they are living without critical thinking skills! But I'm sure that they blame that on them there guv'ment skools.

6. "Libertarians are like house cats.....

They are convinced of their fierce independence, while utterly dependent on a system they don't appreciate or understand." --John Spaulding (whoever he is)

I don't remember where I picked this up (maybe here on DU), but it certainly nails the mentality of libertarians.

9. I got a big chuckle from the video with all the magats

Calling for medics. (SATURDAY after the 'rally')

THAT'S SOCIALISM FOLKS.
Demanding assistance instead of pulling yourself up by your jock/bra straps.
-I would have said "bootstraps", but that crowd looked like they'd get dizzy lacing up boots.

16. And the thousands at the Trump rally stranded waiting for the bus

Why didn't they walk the 6 miles back to their cars? There they were standing around complaining at midnight. The rally was done at 7 pm. If they had walked back, they would have been at their cars by midnight.

But noooooo. They expected to be picked up by someone else. Instead they were left behind in the cold desert night. I heard snow was forecast for that evening. They should have pulled themselves together and delt with it.

Trump proving again he doesn't care what happens to his cult followers.

22. And they are all so ignorant/stupid

to realize, when he says to "vote for him this time, and that they will never need to vote again"......

Meaning, that they will establish a tyranny like Russia, China, NKorea, Iran, etc etc etc where voting happens but is worthless.....

10. Shouldn't that invisible hand be helping them? n/t

[Farmer-Rick]

20. Yeah, the free market could have taken care of it

The thousands of stranded Trump rally supporters should have considered the free market instead of hanging around complaining until midnight in the freezing cold.

Bus lines could have arrived and charged a nice hefty fee for taking people back the 6 miles to their cars. At let's say $25 a head, a good free marketeer could make a bundle.

Where's the free market when you most need it?

11. Dang, thanks that's perfect.

Me, I got a power cord running from my neighbors, water that while it’s not drinkable yet flushed my toilet, a box of drinkable water from FEMA loaded into my car by the army or national guard- not sure which because they had an amazing system going loading and moving cars through. The sky is crystal clear making it easier for FPL guys to repair the lines.

21. Yeah, during covid an airborne unit out of Tennessee

set up a mobile hospital in a community college parking lot near us.
Their no nonsense professionalism was quite impressive.

[Solly Mack]

12. Excellent

[Dave Id]

13. Bummer

They should be happy, they're getting what THEY paid for.

23. Libertarianism

Screw anyone who isn't me.
