And you're going to keep losing elections without us. But really the GOP has damaged their brand so badly and treated them so poorly ya'll might not ever be able to get them back.

No, libertarians think that individuals should be free to choose a path and live with the consequences. It's a philosophy of freedom and personal responsibility that is entirely compatible with conservatism.

Nobody would force you to be less conservative in a libertarian world.
They *will* be forcing you to be less conservative in a liberal world.

“Liberaltarians are the mortal enemy of traditional conservatism.”

So big oppressive government is ok as long as the ones being oppressed are people you don’t agree with or that you’ve judged to “deserve” it.

Not to be confused with libertarians.


Libertarianism opposes Statism. Conservatism opposes Leftism.
