"Libertarians are terrible weirdo anarchist lunatics", they say without acknowledging that the country's founders would agree with almost everything Libertarians stand for
@feld people with super aggressive opinions on libertarians overwhelmingly want a strong state to punish their enemies
@sun there are obviously some crazy people who claim to be Libertarians, but that's true of every political group you can come up with. It's just that the pool of Libertarians is so shallow that it's easier to spot the outliers and use them as an example.
Anyway, what if they believe that your country's founders are terrible weirdo anarchist lunatics?
@Hyolobrika E.g., having a standing army is supported by Libertarians but not what the founders aspired to
