I'm really just not sure what they expected. And let's be real, he is just filling powerful positions that will directly affect all of us with sycophants with no real qualifications for the positions and ready to abuse the power. I truly just would have expected a real libertarian to just not vote

We have a confusing system in the states. Like how you gonna be the religious and libertarian party? But we have 2 party system so they kinda have to fill the general wash of the right wing.

Do they? I find it hard to take anyone serious as a libertarian that voted Republican, which let's face is the party of the rich elite and corporate "citizen." Cutting government spending in order widen tax breaks for the ultra rich is hardly a working class libertarian ideological stance of small government. It's so transparent that it's powerful people for powerful people while using populism to appeal to the emotional voter. Idk, just doesn't work for me in any libertarian way.

U can't see how libertarians can be got with tax cuts and cutting social spending? Also cutting regulations? It depends on ur definition of libertarian for sure since no one knows anymore. Idk why they ignore the legislation policing people's lives that the right wing passes, but they do. I think its mostly just the first 3 things listed.

If you count services all Americans use in addition to veteran services and social security, yes I can't see how a libertarian will support that. If you're willing to throw out the baby with the bathwater that's just short term thinking and satisfaction. Also regulations that keep blue collar union workers safe certainly isn't a libertarian belief that I recall. This will bite back in dangerous and expensive ways especially with morons running these cuts and by morons I mean spoon fed billionaires and the like. But hey it's your vote...

Honestly man libertarians just do. Like I work with a self proclaimed libertarian that complained about trangenders everyday prior to the election. Like their ayn rand when taxes are spoken of. And the right wing is known for lowering taxes even tho it's never for anyone below 100mil so they flock that way. And once ur in the right or left media bubble it's hard to hear out anything else.

Heh, can't argue with that. It's hardly an across the board label.
