This is my 20th year of being a libertarian. In the first 5-10 years, I believed Democrats were superior to Republicans (slightly worse on economy, much better on war and civil liberties).
However it's now abundantly clear Democrats are by far the biggest threat to liberty. They are significantly worse on almost every issue - the economy and civil liberties and typically worse on war (e.g., Ukraine). It's incredible how far and fast they've fallen. They could have chosen the path of anti-war and pro-civil liberties (at least compared to Republicans), but instead have turned into authoritarians on nearly every issue.
Republicans are still awful obviously, but they're in a different league than Democrats.
