As far as I can tell, the thin skin is pretty evenly distributed.

That's what every "other" group tends to seem like, no matter which you're part of. I like to think I have a sense of humor lol. Plus, I don't spend all day discussing politics.

In an internal poll a year or so ago almost 40% of LP members self-identified as Atheists. Beyond that, Libertarians do tend to a certain degree of outrage as they see the abuses of the two old parties continue to pile up.

It seems to me that many LIbertarians fall under one of two categories:

1. Very religious, and resentful that government is taking on the appearance and role of a providential God, and

2. Agnostic, and not believing in government-as-god, either.

Conversely, I believe many people that are totalitarian fall into one of two categories:

3. Very religious, and believing that government should also take on such a noble role as God, and

4. Atheist, but have such a yearning for the existence of a god that they want Government to fulfill that role for them.

American politics has been steadily getting more polarized over the past few decades. When the Tea Party arrived their agenda was to stop all working with the Democrats and only do why they feel is right... Not working with others to come to a mutually beneficial outcome. Then it turned into "anything to stop Obama because he isn't an American citizen. This was, of course, all total BS but it did rile the redneck red states who are so stupid they can be convinced that voting for someone who will do everything they can to harm their constituency is a good thing... As long as you stop abortion and let me keep my guns.

Flash forward to Russia's meddling and Trump's rise. The polarization deepened and now is more extreme than ever before. You now have morons saying they would rather be Russian than Democrat? Good! Let them move to Moscow!

The fact that the religious right would hook their wagon to a known and proven con-man shows how full of shit they are!
