There’s a political realignment happening.

This presents the greatest opportunity that liberals have seen in 50 years.

Today, we're launching a project that seeks to capitalize on this by building a bulwark against authoritarianism that can last a generation.

Here's how.🧵 The far right and the far left are converging.

This illiberal alliance is playing out over a variety of theaters.

For instance, we've watched extremists on both sides:

- Praise Putin, denouncing Ukraine's self-defense
- Justify Hamas terrorism
- Push to elect Trump to "punish Biden"

The @LPNational convention starts soon.

I have received the detailed @LPMisesCaucus strategy on how they plan to complete their effort to turn the LP into a satellite of MAGA.

They intend to rewrite the platform, backstab their allies, and redefine libertarianism as we know it. 🧵 Let’s start with the most egregious changes.

Their continued gutting of the platform:

Today, Mises Caucus leaders of the Libertarian Party announced Donald Trump as the headliner for the Libertarian National Convention in May.

The MAGA "infiltrate and destroy" op of the Libertarian Party is officially complete.

Today, I get to say, "I told you so."

A thread 🧵 In 2020, Trump watched the @LPNational Presidential candidate @JoForLiberty cost him reelection by "covering the spread" in several swing states.

Liberals no longer have a political home.

It's time to build one.

Today I’m announcing the formation of @ProjectLiberal PAC, our flagship campaign Operation Phoenix, and my resignation from the board of @LP_CLC.

Here’s why this is necessary. 🧵 First, I’m resigning from @LP_CLC to focus entirely on Operation Phoenix.

@LP_CLC will continue to organize classical liberal activists around the vision of @LPNational focused on winning elections.

I will continue to support them but I believe it’s time for me to change gears.

.@fakertarians just published a huge leak of files showing that the @LPMisesCaucus takeover of @LPNational has been a disaster.

This leak is beyond gossip. The evidence is in their own words.

The LNC may have violated laws involving the FEC, NDAs, sexual harassment, & more. 🧵 @fakertarians @LPMisesCaucus @LPNational The leak shows unequivocally that Mises Caucus is lying about the health of the LP and the PAC.

"Party members are demoralized."
"The caucus is basically over."
"The caucus is crashing and burning before our eyes."
"Many members are oblivious to... how bad it is."

On Thurs, the Chairwoman of @LPNational, @angela4lncchair, sat down for an interview with @WalshFreedom.

Joe asked tough questions about the controversies since @LPMisesCaucus "took over" the LP.

Some of her answers were so egregious I was shocked.

Here’s a thread to recap.🧵 When asked why the party has refused to condemn LP state affiliates for posting racist comments, “The Fourteen Words,” and other Nazi slogans, Angela’s response wasn’t to denounce it but, instead, to ask why it was important to condemn things.

One year ago, @LPMisesCaucus "took over" @LPNational.

The day of the convention, @MisesChair told @nickgillespie that "we'd know them by their fruits."

Now that they've had a year to run the party, let's take a look at those fruits.🧵 Let’s start with party membership growth month over month.

Since the takeover, we’ve seen a significant decline in party membership.

The party has lost 500 members each month this year and that’s escalating quickly.

Thanks to gerrymandering, restrictive ballot access, and other barriers, 81% of Americans now live in a one-party state.

The vast majority of the country has no competition or representation on their state ballot.

Here's what I mean🧵 Florida:

The GOP holds 28 out of 40 State Senate seats (70%) and 85 out of 120 State House seats (71%).

Statewide, only 37% of Florida voters are Republicans.

What the hell has happened to our political party? Yes, that's @angela4LNCChair speaking in front of waving Russian flags right next to the LP logo.

I believe that @LPNational's upcoming @RageAgainstWar_ rally is more of a pro-Russia rally than an anti-war rally.

The Libertarian Party's involvement creates a huge hazard for the party and undermines the entire anti-war movement.

Here's a thread on why I believe this. 🧵 Let’s start with one of the speakers, Scott Ritter.

Scott is a former UN weapons inspector and convicted child predator. He doesn’t even pretend to be anti-war.

In fact, Scott is a columnist for RT and has many examples of being pro-invasion & pro-Russia.

The Libertarian Party does not, in fact, have a fiduciary duty to participate in a rally with someone arrested multiple times for attempting to prey on children.

Try again.

The LPMC way to handle differing views is to block them out and pretend they don't exist.

Pretty weak, Mike.
