Maybe I misunderstand, but if you’re a ‘sovereign citizen’, and you don’t acknowledge the authority of the country in which you are dwelling, why protest and obstruct said country ‘s election processes. What does it matter to you? Just remain in your compound and keep your own counsel.

Well there are also Libertarians who vote 100% Republican. Just one of life's little mysteries /s

I found libertarianism when I was in high school and Clinton was president. I got pretty serious about it.

It was absolutely mystifying to me that all the rage they expressed when Clinton did things they didn't like just wasn't there when W did the same things.

I haven't been a libertarian in a long time and I still don't really get them.
