This was the 90s and I think Libertarians weren't as horrible back then. You still had people who were more like anarchists with dreamy notions of freedom from "the state" involved.
At some point that all dissolved and they just became another flavor of right wing reactionary. And I was a little sad to see the Trumpers taking over their convention this year. That is the death nail of anything ever was. (But really Rand Paul was the death nail.)
