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.

Libertarians are just conservatives who don't think Republicans are quite selfish enough.

Yeah, former wrestler Kane is a mayor in Knoxville, TN and a famous libertarian, yet his tweets are absolutely 100% MAGA nutjobbery.
