I had been a registered libertarian and voted for Ron Paul lol. Now, the party is so far removed from what it once was. The QAnon midwits co-opted the party and made it some form of adjacent neo-con movement.

That ~ 2013-2014 moment was full of possibilities.
Neoconservatism was clearly dying post-Bush, and there was a real chance to have "Ron Paul in the streets / Cody Wilson in the sheets", so to speak..
But it all got hosed, somehow. People weren't ready I guess. And then a reality TV star became President...
It's because boomers vote and they watched fox and CNN. The games they played to squash Ron Paul are pretty blatant. I recall a Daily Show episode that pointed this out at the time.
Qanon was a genius psyop on their part.
