I wonder how the “I just want to live my life” crowd squares that mindset with republican policies. Because so far the only people fucking with my life have been the republicans. No you cant smoke weed, yes you must have a baby, go fuck yourself for healthcare, but here’s some tax cuts! (Just kidding, those are only for the rich people). Also, I hope you like video because we are banning alllll the books.

They don't because they can't. As a Classical Liberal / Libertarian the people you are describing sicken me with their ongoing support for Government interference in people's personal lives. To put it in the simplest possible terms the Government has no business in your bedroom, board room, doctors office, or gun safe.
I'm very angry at the recent attacks on gender affirming care for the LGBTQ+ folks, the fuckery happening with travel for abortion access, and a laundry list of other issues where Republican led States are tramping all over people's rights. I'm also still pissed off at Texas and Florida over their COVID policies disallowing private companies from being able to require masks and / or covid vaccinations for employees and customers.
If we continue Reagan's quote, linked up above, we can see just how far off the god damned rails today's Conservatives are: "The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.”
Any Libertarian supporting the Regressive and Authoritarian efforts of today's Conservatives is a lying LINO.

Ronald Reagan once described Libertarianism as "the very heart and soul of conservatism" and he was correct. The problem with most so called "Conservatives" today is that they've lost their "heart and soul" and become Regressives in the process.
