It's interesting that conservatives would try to masquerade as libertarians, considering that conservatives are the one that want to and have tread all over our rights. Hopefully nobody is falling for it. They are essentially the antithesis of liberty and freedom; see voting, abortion, lgbtq rights, and on and on and on...
I was really confused about libertarians when I was younger because the way it was described to me was being for freedom. So I thought it was pro-lgtbq, prochoice, for religious freedom, anti-hoa kind of stuff right?
Turns out it was vehemently antitax, anti universal healthcare, religiously driven, gun worshipping zealotry. Basically "freedum 4 peepol like me and no one else!"
That was really disheartening to learn. There's a libertarian militia cult near the town I grew up in. Cut off from everyone else, had shootout in the 60's with the police. They're still there in the same compound in the woods. They don't bother anyone these days, but still. It's kinda disturbing to know there's some very angry people armed to the teeth living out there.
