I legit believe it can be a matter of choice of words. I mean, for some issues.

Simply describe any leftist position without using charged words and I guarantee most republicans would be on board.

My mom is "pro-life." I interviewed her on what exactly she believed should be legislated. Turns out she's 100% pro choice but just doesn't like abortion.

Most people are like that. It's really normal to have views from all over the spectrum, not all from one side. Many libertarians maturely face the conundrum that they will always fight for the liberties of others, even if they personally or morally disagree with them.
