I'm a lifelong independent (old school liberal) and have never trusted libertarianism any farther than I could throw it. I've been politically courted by them a number of times, but they can never explain their position to me in a way that makes consistent sense. (Libertarian lurkers -- this isn't an invitation to 'splain. I can read.) 🙄 Also, loaded with smug dudebros.

libertarian is just a R that doesn't want to admit it.

Libertarians, at least politically in the US, are consistently against abortion even though that's not a free market libertarian position, and hold similar conservative positions in lockstep with the right. They're just rightwingers with a new coat of paint.
