The 2013 American Values Survey found that consistent libertarians make up seven percent of the American public, while an additional 15 percent have libertarian leanings.\
\
Politically views appear to be heavily influenced by genetic factors (see below).\
\
Thus, if libertarians don\'t want to continue to be politically crushed, then they need to figure out how to out-reproduce people who hold competing ideologies.\
\
\"Almost forty years ago, evidence from large studies of adult twins and their relatives suggested that between 30-60% of the variance in social and political attitudes could be explained by genetic influences.\
\...\
Here we present results from original analyses of a combined sample of over 12,000 twins pairs, ascertained from nine different studies conducted in five democracies, sampled over the course of four decades.\
\
We provide evidence that genetic factors play a role in the formation of political ideology, regardless of how ideology is measured, the era, or the population sampled. \"\
