supporting legalization of The Ganja still just makes them higher conservatives

and then when you get to what most proclaimed libertarians think about immigration.... well I won't even

Libertariants want as small of a government as possible. You are 100% wrong.

The actual pot-smoking fence sitters makes for a very small portion of libertarians. The vast vast majority of them are just republicans who don't care enough about social issues to make an issue out of it even though they definitely still lean social right wing. Oh yeah and there are also a certain number of early 20 something libertarians who are at most five years from aging out of the party that they were really only a part of in a casual sense.

What does that mean? If you're talking the government power structure, Libertarians are dancing jigs during this shutdown. They've always railed against big government and intervention therein. Reform is like a top priority so idk what you're on about there.

Obviously there's different sects of the Libertarian party, just like literally all other political parties in history. Right Libertarianism exists, but so does Conservative Liberalism. A large number of classical Liberals exist within the Republican party as well, but do you see me nailing them as Liberal for that minority?

Your arguments against them are based purely on stereotypes. I know you have a disdain for them cause some Rand-ian individualist made fun of you for working at Burger King but you gotta stop looking at things in such black and white.

That’s exactly what I was trying to say.
