The government is going to sell it to whoever is in office's buddies and they are going to strip mine and log it. Most of Nevada and Utah are uninhabitable, but perfect for corporations that don't want to abide by environmental laws. It's actually hilariously insulting that Mike Lee is saying this is to help solve the housing crisis as if someone is going to build a housing development with no water or road access.

I even have libertarian diehard friends that are against this sale, if for nothing else than the fact you -can not- trust the government to sell it in a legitimate non-corrupt manner.

I guess your libertarian die hard friends didn't read about Project 2025 before voting for Trump? July 2024 article: https://www.backcountryhunters.org/what_project_2025_means_f...

They didn't vote for Trump, so now what? People that try to paint people into a political corner should really get out more. Not only is it annoying and off-putting, it's an intellectual dead end.

So smug. Unless you’re replying to someone you know (and my apologies if so), how do you know their die hard libertarian friends voted for Trump?

Just an informed guess.

I know a lot of staunch libertarians, and maybe 20% (if that) voted for Trump. And of that 20%, about 95% were voting for him because they accepted the false dichotomy of Kamala or Trump.

There are plenty of valid criticisms of libertarians IMHO, but supporting Trump isn't really one of them.

Most of the libertarians I know voted for trump and pretend that they did so to vote against Harris. But that’s probably because they don’t want to take responsibility for what the voted into office.
