Then quite frankly, you're part of the problem.
Yep, it is not enough to say, "I don't hate gays or blacks". I doesn't even do the white middle class or rural poor any fucking good if they can't pay their bills.
Jefferson hated big banks. He died in debt. Now while he was a great politician, nobody should be a victim to predatory policies.
If your economic policy is "suck to be you" or "you're on your own", you don't even understand why sick assholes like Napoleon or Stalin rose. Like other life, if one species becomes invasive it upsets the entire ecosystem. The American Revolution happened for the same reason the Russian revolution did. Simply knocking a power down, does not ensure that what arises out of the ashes will be what you personally want.
In the west, what we have done better, even if not perfectly is insist on anti monopoly concepts and checks on power.
In this moment in history, we are being controlled by money. The same money that bullied government that lead to the Great Depression. The same money that lead to Bush's Great Recession.
Stalin and Hitler and Napoleon all played on blind loyalty and hyper nationalism.

We are making weed legal, but it should be regulated just like you cant drive drunk. As far as guns, only a moron thinks we don't have enough. BOTH can be legal and regulated without a wild west no rules attitude.
I agree, Libertarian God is part of the problem. And to Libertarian, do not blow smoke up my ass and try to claim we could run our government with 13 representatives as when the country was founded knowing we have 300 million plus and 50 states now.
If you want limited government the BEST way to do that is TO PAY WORKERS A LIVABLE WAGE AND GIVE THEM AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE AND AFFORDABLE EDUCATION. If you want more off of the government dime, THAT IS HOW YOU DO IT!
