Megan Basham Says Libertarians Are Useless + Trump Lies About Prices (Again) || 1828

Trump says prices are going down. Your grocery receipt might have a different opinion.

Meanwhile, Republicans and libertarians are discovering just how fragile their 2024 coalition may have been.

Nate and Chuck break down Trump's comments on inflation, prices, the stock market, and the promises that helped bring libertarian voters into his coalition. Then they get into Megyn Basham's criticism that libertarians are "useless" coalition partners who fight for the wrong things.

The bigger question is whether the Republican Party can still call itself the party of small government, free markets, constitutional limits, and opposition to endless war while expanding federal spending and government power.

The guys also dig into why libertarians can be difficult political allies: they tend to care more about reducing government than protecting a party, politician, or coalition.

Plus: $68 grocery runs, 18D chess, Republican socialism, taxpayer-funded political messaging, COVID-era libertarian infighting, and why telling voters what they want to hear is such an effective political strategy.
