Hope they vote for their Libertarian choice and siphon off some TFG votes!
But libertarians are conservative. They just also like weed and bitcoin
I mean conservatives have always been masquerading as (L)ibertarians since 1971 here in the US.
Just a sign that they are easily manipulated
Actual libertarianism is open border like you know people who want to do business here have every right to, and for those “illegals” that commit crimes you have the guns.
Fake libertarianism think it should be controlled…. Wait, by what government? :facepalm: xenophobic much?
Consummate V's! I said consummate!
Guy wouldn't know majesty if it came up and bit him in the face...
Libertarians denying their conservatism so they can act wicked online while propping up Christian nationalism in the real world is happening!
It's interesting that conservatives would try to masquerade as libertarians, considering that conservatives are the one that want to and have tread all over our rights. Hopefully nobody is falling for it. They are essentially the antithesis of liberty and freedom; see voting, abortion, lgbtq rights, and on and on and on...
I was really confused about libertarians when I was younger because the way it was described to me was being for freedom. So I thought it was pro-lgtbq, prochoice, for religious freedom, anti-hoa kind of stuff right?
Turns out it was vehemently antitax, anti universal healthcare, religiously driven, gun worshipping zealotry. Basically "freedum 4 peepol like me and no one else!"
That was really disheartening to learn. There's a libertarian militia cult near the town I grew up in. Cut off from everyone else, had shootout in the 60's with the police. They're still there in the same compound in the woods. They don't bother anyone these days, but still. It's kinda disturbing to know there's some very angry people armed to the teeth living out there.
My personal favorite:
Gadsenflagge
Don't forget
No, that's not the best Gadsden flag parody. Far from it. Here's some better ones:
Appropriate account.
As a European I see these for the first time, where do they come from? Usually I see eagles, donkeys and elephants with US stuff

Here's a parody by me, made when I was much more naive and Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid just came out.
There is no masquerading. Libertarians are just cons/repubs without the religion who smoke weed
Libertarians are just republicans with a better working knowledge of local age of consent laws.

Libertarian? Isn't that just Conservative with extra steps?
No, in theory libertarians are pro-choice, pro-LGBT, pro-drugs, pro-open borders.
Not saying that American Libertarians believe those things, but libertarianism specifically supports things that are non-conservative social issues.

That’s been happening for decades. Libertarians have only ever existed because the Republicans used to be tacitly against racism.
Libertarians today
What's clear is that the Right-wing's whole thing doesn't exactly attract (good) artists. They tend to borrow and steal most of their iconography rather than make something new^1^. Strangely, the whole movement also seems to be both unable to execute parody nor see the humor in self-parody, which I assert is a faculty needed to pull off good political art.
So that puts some serious creative power in league with everyone else. Should be interesting.
^1^ - MAGA is a great example of this. The slogan itself is lifted from Reagan's 1980 campaign, so it's nothing new. The current slogan marketing "design" is nothing more than a white serif font on a red field, which in highly-technical graphic design terms is called: "lazy as fuck."

Not a fan of their views, but the likes of StoneToss, Tom MacDonald and Seamus Coughlin aren't exactly bad at what they do.

The counter argument would be that having a visual language of common symbols and representations allows you to convey a lot with a little. One of the running bits from TheLeftCantMeme crowd is that left wing memes and comics tend to rely on walls of text to express anything, which is an exaggeration but it's not entirely wrong.

...Which in turn lifted it from the National Front's "Make Britain Great Again," which is the last time it was actually clever wordplay.
Oh wow. So it's double-poached from an actually witty slogan? These cretins really are the worst.
