I'll take a libertarian over a Missouri good ol' boy classic conservative any day. And vs Trumptards, there is no contest. Forget about Rand. People forget his dad was often more vocal against the Republicans than the Democrats (at least on certain issues).
Rather than having our classic Democrats and Republicans (who really both serve Wall Street), I think our congress would be better divided Libertarians vs Socialists. If these latter two parties could meet each other half way, we'd have a better functioning congress.
The problem is that both Rand and his dad are as conservative (I mean, Republican) as fuck. They only stand out from the other Republicans on foreign policy matters, AFAIK. And I'm pretty sure there are ways to be Libertarian without having to think and behave no differently from a Republican. Tiberius himself adheres to a sexy form of libertarianism.
