The future we need to shoot for:

Currently there is the Dems and the RINOs, and everybody else is considered fringe. But I think even MAGA would agree that it would be in all of our best interests that in the future it is MAGA and the Libertarians, and the Dems and RINOs are considered some kind of fringe movement

On the economy:

Like MAGA, the libertarians understand that a healthy economy needs low taxes and regulations, however unlike MAGA libertarians understand that the fed creates constant bubbles and is a constant source of trouble, and simply needs to be ended, as well of kicking the government out of the money business forever.

On education:

Like MAGA, the libertarians understand that woke education is ruining everybody, however, unlike MAGA the libertarians understand that any government in the education sector is always going to be a corrupting infulence, and it's better to kick the state out. Vouchers may be a good start in that direction, but in the end the government needs to be completely kicked the fuck out.

On social security:

MAGA tends to support social security, but libertarians understand that it is a disaster and a scam, the the only lasting and just solution is to abolish it, and maybe do stuff like liquidate government land and parks to compensate the victims of this ponzi scheme.

On health care:

Both MAGA and the libertarians tend to understand that excessive government in the health care sector is making it insanely expensive, however, the libertarians also understand that as long as government is financing health care, it will always be corrupted.

On the debt:

MAGA wants to grow out of the debt, but the libertarian truth is that we would probably be all better off if we just defaulted on the government debt. And yes, interest rates would rocket, and there would be no more financing of government programs. Good.

On taxes:

MAGA wants taxes on programs that "work", but the libertarians understand that the very nature of taxes corrupts. The goal should be to get rid of all taxes, but most especially the income tax and the inflation tax.

On regulations:

Both MAGA and the libertarians seem to understand how bad most of these are for society and the economy. (except for zoning laws, see below)

On immigration:

MAGA wants to control immigration. But the libertarian truth is that the problem isn't the immigrants, but that the immigrants are getting on government programs, heavily encouraged by leftists. There is nothing wrong with immigration, when it comes to hard working family folks, even illegal immigration, it helps the economy. The problem isn't immigration, but that much of the current immigration isn't organic and isn't market driven.

On the police:

MAGA want's police that work for the people. But the truth is, we need market mechanisms to make police work for the people, not political mechanisms. Instead of trying to reform the police, create market orientated reforms like police vouchers, and eventually phase those out too and make the police all private.

On wars and empire:

Both MAGA and the Libertarians seem to understand that all these constant wars are expensive and unproductive, however, unlike MAGA the libertarians seem to understand that the way to have a strong national security isn't through a strong military, but through a strong economy. It's better to free up military resources to the private sector whenever possible.

On housing:

Unlike MAGA, the libertarians seem to understand how destructive land use restrictions, subdivision restrictions, and zoning laws are. They need to be eliminated. People need to focus on how they use their property rights, not what their neighbors do with their property. (see the section on the fed also, because they are a major source of housing bubbles, and the reason people turn to financing real estate to protect their wealth)

On tyrannies and gays and other weird behavior:

MAGA wants to center around family and culture. But the truth is, there was never anything wrong with people having these strange offshoots (other than damage to children). The problem was when they got in bed with the state and state schools to impose their values and go against parents when indoctrinating kids. Some immoral behaviors do have poor social consequences, but those will filter themselves out without state interference.

On the war on drugs:

MAGA seems to know that the war on drugs has problems, but wants to reform it. No, it needs to end and be treated like a public health issue, and not a crime issue.

EDIT: On intellectual property:

Copyright and patent don't work, are very destructive, and just need to be phased out.
