    Libertarians in the modern US are republicans that figured out saying that gets them no favors. At least that’s what it seems like to me.

      There are two flavors of Libertarian. The one that is too embarrassed to admit they are GOP, and the other that thinks the GOP are a bunch of left leaning hippies.

        The self proclaimed libertarians just always manage to vote for the right wingers. They never have the balls to vote 3rd party which is why they never have any success.

        Not by definition, but the right wing turds have co-opted it like they have so many other things.

        Sure feels like it when they sit silent as the GOP strips the rights of LGBT people across the country and ban abortion. They say nothing as black Americans lose the ability to vote.

        The libertarian party is a bunch of cowards. 92% non-Hispanic white, 68% male. Of course they don’t care. They feel it doesn’t impact them.
