There are a LOT of Libertarians masquerading as Republicans because that’s the only way they can win elections right now.
I am specifically looking at Rand Paul, my congresscritter Thomas Massie, Paul Ryan, Justin Amash, amongst many other supposed “Republicans”.
Calling them “small l” Libertarians as if that dismisses them as a joke is disingenuous and, actually, outright dangerously foolhardy.
