The bottom line: A lot of libertarians, at least right-leaning ones, have indeed rallied to Trump’s side, even though this might seem incredible and crazy to many across all American political demographics.
Let’s say at the outset that “a lot of libertarians” does not mean most, or even half, based on my totally unscientific sample of friends and fellow ideological travelers. Nonetheless, it should be indicative of some trends. For starters, nearly everyone full-on loathes Democrats’ (and in some cases, Trump’s) anti-free speech stances. Many also mention concerns about civil liberties with both parties, for what that’s worth. But for those who are firmly in the Trump column, one major differentiator stands out: Foreign policy.
