        I’d be inclined to agree if not for the fact that he’s constantly changing his narrative when it suits him

        which just so happens to be a classic tactic in the fascism playbook, funny that

        Personally I find it difficult to call him a libertarian when there are so many existing liberties that he wants to make illegal (see the parts of his agenda labelled ‘homophobia’ and ‘misogyny’).

        Not that a label being misleading would ever have stopped a politician from applying it to themselves as long as they think it gets them votes…

          well, that’s just most right-libertarians (and especially anarcho-capitalists) if we’re being honest. the practice decidedly does not correspond with their stated principles for most of them–to the point where it might be more dishonest to describe them by their principles than not.
