# The previous leadership was more left leaning culturally, and were...

*May 29, 2022 — Comment Sean Malone's post*

The previous leadership was more left leaning culturally, and were more supportive of the state's COVID prevention mandates.   (Or at least, not vocally opposed.) By contrast, I would characterize the Mises Caucus as Ron Paul libertarians.  They tend to be more religious and more anti-woke.  A significant fraction of them support immigration suppression laws and legal limitations on abortion.  They also tend to be very anti-mask mandates, compelled vaccinations, and other COVID era restrictions. So, some libertarians for whom abortion and immigration are dealbreakers are upset. But on 90% of the issues, I don't think their views differ much from the previous regime's beliefs. So, mostly a change in priorities.   I don't think they're going to hurt the LP, but I don't think they're going to increase its effectiveness much either.  (Unless they pivot, and start campaigning for their members to join the Free State Project.)
