I have a friend from OK whom was living there back when I met him online. He used to be a Christian growing up, but socially became liberal with time but when I met him he was economically libertarian. He informed me that he was moving to Denver and was getting a job ad Dish hellwork. I knew right at that moment he would learn his lesson. It didn't take but a few weeks for him to understand big businesses can be bullies. He is now a flaming economic liberal as well and wants Bernie Saunders to run for President. He loves Warren as well.
This is pretty much what happened to most of my friends who have left Libertarianism. They got out of school, they got into the situation America is in where student loans are as crippling as a mortgage for no fucking reason or they started to have to pay their own rent or had kids, etc.
The only ones who have remained staunchly Libertarian (and in some cases, Objectivist) are the ones who never struggled for a dime in their lives.
