Honest Question
I got this quote from lp.org “Libertarians strongly oppose any government interference in your personal, family, and business decisions. Essentially, we believe all Americans should be free to live their lives and pursue their interests as they see fit as long as they do no harm to another.” And yet the majority of comments I see on Reddit, or social media that claim to be from libertarians always goes something like “I’m a libertarian but wow the left is crazy I agree more with the right every day” and it’s just like a video/article about inclusivity to trans people or something like that. The right constantly speaks of not allowing of trans rights and as simple as not even considering a trans man can get pregnant like it affects there lives so deeply (which, who cares is my position), abolishing abortion, making sure marijuana (that doesn’t kill like alcohol) stays illegal, and yet no joke every libertarian comment says the left is insane. Perhaps it’s taxation that drives libertarians more right, and that’s fine, that’s actual policy opinions, but all the social/cultural stuff seems to drive libertarians to the right even though on their party website that quote doesn’t seem to add up. Why is that?
