    Libertarians are just Republicans that don’t want to say they’re Republicans, their stances are almost completely the same.

      A more honest comic would be a frame of two republicans (use the lion from this comic) tearing part and eating America…say, Uncle Sam, just visceral and blood all over their mouths and claws. Second frame has that scene in the background with a third lion standing with another animal looking upon the carnage. The third lion saying “I’m not republican, I am a libertarian that leans right” while also having blood all over it’s mouth and claws.

      Actual libertarians would never vote Republican. They’d be pro-choice, pro-trans rights, against any kind of book ban and for way less invasive religion in the state.

      People who vote republicans and call themselves libertarian only like their own freedom.

      It is true and unfortunately common that many Americans who claim to be Libertarians are generally Republicans who don’t want the label. It is also true that no true Libertarian would align themselves with the Republican party as it is today, or maybe as it has ever been. The two ideologies are dramatically different. Libertarians are closer to anarchists and republicans are closer to fascists.
