One of my best friends is an honest-to-god actual libertarian in the original sense (pacifist capitalist anarchist, roughly speaking). I could do a whole thread about him, but the gap between him and the people who now call themselves “libertarians” is just eye-opening. In brief: he loathes Trump. He voted for and phone-banked (!!) for Biden, a person whom he despises running for an office he thinks should not exist, because MAGA are fascists and when there are fascists you fight the fascists, •period•. He calls Doge the “Hitler youth squad.” He fought his own neighbors to allow the construction of a public housing project in his neighborhood because even though he gov-funded public housing shouldn’t even exist, if there are laws they should apply absolutely equally to everyone — and he called out his own neighbors for being racist in their opposition to the housing project. It goes on.
