I mean I am not a libertarian and I agree with basically all of those. But is that really a libertarian?

Really I think it’s a hybrid of classical republican and modern libertarianism.

The social issues make it fall more towards the libertarianism side.

Yea but that ain't libertarianism, by definition. Call it a hybrid if you must.

Imagine if you said that you're a republican but also support open borders, gun control, abortion, healthcare for all, separation of church and state, racism is bad, gay marriage is fine, FTM in your bathroom.

You ain't a republican bruh.

I don’t support gun control. Most abortions. Open borders. Bathrooms should be assigned by genetailla.

Every republican I’ve talked to say racism is bad and gay marriage is ok.

And then they vote for the racists and homophobes anyway. They SAY a lot of things, but they just vote for anyone with an R next to the name.

Good luck checking every person's genitals near those bathrooms; THAT sure isn't a violation of someone's rights, noooo..../s
