My wife and I were talking about this earlier. It's a very strange thing to consider. As a Gary Johnson voters and supporters, we both feel calm and almost entirely detached from all the anger and angst and rage and fury that has ignited since Donald Trump won the Presidency. We sit back in amazement watching Hillary voters sobbing and crying and rioting. We're equally confused when we encounter Trump supporters doing a victory dance by yanking hijabs off Muslim women's heads or acting like a bunch of xenophobic nutjobs.
As Libertarians, we knew we were going to lose. We voted for the man we believed in anyways because that's what representative democracy is supposed to actually be about. You vote for who you actually believe in, not for the candidate that makes you throw up a little less than the other. We can honestly say that we're absolutely thrilled to not be part of either group of crazies. Libertarians aren't assaulting people with opposing political opinions in the streets. We're not crying our eyes out. We're not gloating by making racist comments. We don't have to apologize for anything or anyone.
It's all very liberating -- no pun intended either. It's like seeing the entire world around you going absolutely crazy and you're the only sane people in the room. Our vote for Gary Johnson was and is a truly wonderful thing!
If only he knew what and where Aleppo is . And I mean that seriously. Had he shown more knowledge of world events instead of making himself a laughingstock he might have done extremely well in a few states and pushed the Libertarian percentage way up there, relatively speaking .

You do not mean that seriously. Or if you do you did not bother yourself to watch the whole exchange.
Either way, you do not know what you are talking about.
Yeah that was a setup. Chris Matthews was being a asshat as usual. He offered no context. Just "What would you do about Aleppo." Because everyone just knows off the top of their heads what Aleppo is on a moment's notice.
Us Libertarians wouldn't do anything about Aleppo actually. Not militarily certainly. So do you actually need to know where Aleppo is in order to do absolutely nothing about it? But yes, at the end of the day Gary Johnson really does know where Aleppo is and why it is significant. And by the way, he doesn't need to have a favorite world leader in order to not invade Iraq or to not bomb Syria or to stop handing out billions to every other country on earth for no reason at all.
By the way, both Trump and Hillary said and did things that were vastly more humiliating and made them each look worlds stupider ... so do we really need to go down that road?
It's like when you realize how the human mind works and why humans react the way they do, it leaves a sort of peaceful detachment realizing you aren't really who you think you are.. your personality is actually a very impersonal aspect of oneself that can sometimes be hard to control.. you can sit there and watch it have a tantrum without getting personally involved in the tantrum... once you stop trying to control it and yet paradoxically start to reprogram it, the peace sets in.... then you really stop caring about the trivialities in life that other people care so much about.
With that said it's fun to see the liberals squirm... their level of righteousness and talking down to anyone who doesn't agree with them was getting annoying. They think they are so morally superior.. they remind me of the evangelical christian types back in the 80's. Closed minded and intolerant, even though they claim they are tolerant. Liberals are much more intolerant than conservatives.. if you stand back and watch both of them it becomes glaringly obvious. It's all just subconscious programming though... from society, friends, parents... nothing to be taken personally or too seriously.
I'm with you.. more in the middle.. more relaxed... more libertarian... watching the two sides battle it out from the sidelines, a neutral observer of human nature...

I can't help but take joy in the pain of the SJWs.

I voted for Johnson even though his knowledge of geography was poor. I figured Trump didn't know Putin had been in the Crimea for two years....what the heck.
