Every power this administration has secured for itself will be available to and used by future administrations. Do not fool yourself into believing this state of conservative power over the three branches will last, it will not.

And now when it ends, the next administration will inherit this power to deploy the military for domestic use, with very few restrictions. They will inherit the power to detain anyone without due process based on the simple allegation that the detainee is here illegally. They will inherit the power to use the considerable spying apparatus that is Palantir against perceived domestic enemies.

The next administration will easily be able to create huge tariffs on imports, and relieve them in a targeted manner for specific companies as a reward for bribes and compliance. That is the current reality, and it is the world you are backing.

Finally, the next administration will have the ability to deal with the problems that have haunted this country since the failure of reconstruction. Guns, hate groups, religious cults, climate change deniers... the next admin will have many, many more options to address these problems. I hope you have considered the tools you are handing to the other side.

Acceptance is embracing a fascist autocracy? "Hmmm. Libertarianism didn't resonate with liberals. Guess we will just go full on fascist.", is how I interpreted that.

truly i implore you to read Dark Money by Jane Mayer if you think there was any real power behind the libertarian movement that wasn't explicitly directed at consolidating disparate rightwing movements into the monolith of the modern GOP.

Hardly. There has never been a president more hostile to libertarian ideology than Donald Trump.

They’re just so used to not having opposition. Even less than that. Just being able to blatantly walk all over their opposition and poke them in the eye. Their opposition assumed good will but after decades of being deceived they’ve finally decided to resist. And this resistance is a new feeling for the left.

They’re continuing their tried and true tactics but they aren’t working anymore.

No, for a while after the shakeup of the US political landscape resulting from Johnson embracing the Civil Rights Act and the Republican Party exploiting disaffection of racists from the Democratic Party in a way that they had not tried to do after the similar Democratic split over integration vs segregation in the 1940s that produced the short-lived State's Rights Democratic Party, the Republican Party placed heavy rhetorical emphasis of libertarianism because it was a framework within which the “State's Rights” code for racial discrimination and laissez-faire capitalism of economic conservatives could be appealed to under the same verbiage. This was not an attempt at a compromise with the Left; insofar as it was a compromise rather than just a joint propaganda effort, it was a compromise within the Right.
