I read back in 2007 as Paul was using Infowars to get his supporters riled up, as most of them were then busy with a movement predating the Tea Party, that these people were truly to be feared in their fanaticism.
Back then they came across intitially as open minded, but when they got more ground it became clear they were nothing other than supporters of the Confederacy or the aristocracy that predated the Constitution. They yelled victim when they didn't get their way, reminds me of Hitler. The critique I read showed the similarities.
They don't care about ethics and accept dishonest means employed to get their way. There has always been a Bircher component to them, and even when Jones had the head of the JBS on his show and respected his views, those who were 'progressive' still stuck to the conspiracies.
Not that there aren't real life ones in play. Just so happens they are a part of the worst one there is. Or as we'd say studying history, there's a reason they frequent Democratic forums:

They've been winning elections this way for forty years. And they are not our allies, that's just a scam. I have since regretted defending some who were called trolls years ago as I felt we needed to be open to the views of all who claimed to be Democrats.
Now I see that in this latest contest, their antipathy, vitriol and even saying they will not vote, says it all. They don't give reasoned arguments, their dislike for Democrats is basic to their very being. They also trot out the lie that both parties are the same.
A Libertarian sees the other parties as the same. That's when you know who you are talking to, as to them, the other parties aren't Libertarians. So yeah, no difference to them.
Some had better troll radar than me. I'm at the point of reading posts as, 'just a troll until proven otherwise.'
