I don’t understand why libertarians don’t work within the Republican party. The two parties are natural allies and compliment each other. If the Republican Party can have moderates and religious conservatives, then they surely can have libertarian Republicans.

They do. It's called the Republican Liberty Caucus.

It is the "Big ell" Libertarian Party that thinks the two major parties are actual one group called "Republicrats" or "Demopublicans."

Independent conservatives, libertarians, constitutionalists and committed social conservatives (etc) are not wanted in the Republican party. This was made quite clear during the primaries.

They have in the past, and all they've gotten is lip-service and bigger government in return. At some point, people may conclude that the GOP is just cynically using them for their vote.

I suppose you missed all the hatred spewed forth by republicans towards libertarians right here on this thread.

Of course the same people calling Barr insane and worse were singing his praises when he was leading impeachment proceedings against Clinton.

The nastiness you see in the political process isn't entirely just the democrat nutroots.
