Libertarianism in the US is all about personal liberty, basically about being able to do whatever they want and fuck anyone else's needs or desires.
So they're just Republicans by a different name then
A libertarian is just a republican who knows that admitting who they align with is socially dangerous. You would think that makes them better in some way but in fact it makes them worse. Many republicans don't know they are absolute garbage. Libertarians know they are garbage but still choose to be garbage.
Nah, if you don't directly bother them they mostly just don't give a fuck. True-red republicans find pleasure in fucking over other people in new and disgusting ways.
It's a minor difference, but it's important to libertarians. Because it's the one way they try and distance themselves from other conservatives.
