Libertarians want to treat adults like actual adults and that is too scary for most people (worldwide-not just the USA).
Don’t you mean “I’ve got mine. Screw you all!”
Libertarians have been trying to be main stream for oh shoot.....since I was at uni. They haven’t achieved much in all that time.
It’s almost like it’s some kind of hipster thing so they can say they aren’t republicans.
There are huge differences. Foreign invasions and the Patriot Act are just 2 major differences among many.
The idea of libertarianism is not a brand new idea. Sadly, it is not mainstream enough. I suppose it is better to send people to several years in prison for stealing a slice of pizza (Jerry Dewayne Williams), give away money to foreign nations that hate us (ex. Pakistan), ban people from renting out their homes which they 'own', ban young men from buying and drinking beer but treat them as adults if they steal alcohol, and invade foreign nations that did nothing to the USA (ex. Iraq, Vietnam). All of these ideas are supported by many republicans and democrats and reasons they are both dangerous parties.
