To add more to this, Justin Amash also switched to the Libertarian Party after this.
It's interesting to see this now because the Libertarian Party has never once held a seat in Congress until now and this the the first time that a third party in almost two centuries has a seat in the U.S. federal government. Yes folks, we now have a member of the Libertarian Party in Congress, the very thing that we thought would never happen has finally happened. The impossible just became possible.
So while the Libertarian Party may probably lose this seat by the end of this year, as far as I'm concerned now, a third party has now been legitimatized in American politics now. The Libertarian Party are even cheering over this small but also very important victory because this shows to everyone else that there are other options out there aside from the traditional Two-Party system that we are so used to.
“After nearly 50 years of working against expanding debt, deficits, violations of liberties, new wars abroad, and barriers to prosperity across our country, every victory matters. Welcome home Congressman @justinamash - and thank you for helping us make history.”

It is going to be a very interesting decade ahead of us now because now the old guard (which are both big money and also the political establishment) that we thought would keep their power forever may as well lose it very soon.
In the old Greek myth, 'Zeus' and the 'Olympian' gods would defeat his father 'Cornus' and the 'Titans'. Even Titans can lose everything in the end.
