    That’s weird, because libertarians hate handouts, welfare, regulations, and the Fed in general. All things which Trump is doing a fantastic job of burning down so him and his buddies can loot the corpse of our dying empire. Seem like the libertarian dream actually, where all that matters is how much can you snag for yourself before someone else does. If you can’t compete in an open free market, then just kindly die and reduce the surplus population.

      Libertarians are just conservatives that are too chickenshit to commit to the bit, so they hide behind a different title to distance themselves.

      If it helps, think of them the same as how a “pescatarian” pretends to be a vegetarian. They’re a carnivore that won’t commit to the title.
