It's confusing when people on here outside the USA use "libertarian" for what it actually means, when here in the States, it means far right lunatics pretending to be less evil than Republicans.
#USPol #USPolitics
@JeremyMallin well, I'd say in the states it just means many different things to many different people, same as how liberal and conservative have also come to mean such different things.
It's just generally best to avoid that kind of terminology when talking about #USPolitics unless one is sure that their audience is all on the same page with a single definition.
I find it better to talk about positions instead of labels at this point.
Just for one example, consider the huge numbers of libertarians who are completely opposed to the Libertarian Party. Those terms have simply changed meaning over time.
