This why it’s so difficult. I am very conservative socially and fiscally but at the Federal level I want virtually no restrictions on the states. I want a very small Federal government with the states allowed to restrict almost anything they want. That way people could live where they are comfortable and let the results of bad ideas fall on the ones doing it.

That is a scenario that I believe most libertarians in the republican party would agree with. Unfortunately too many Republicans see the federal government as a tool to be used to pursue their policy desires. Thus we have both Democrats and Republicans pushing to increase the size and scope of the federal government. Democrats (and many Republican politicians) for reasons of pure evil and Republicans in general out of the misguided notion that big Fed can actually help people.

Libertarianism promotes leftism not only at the state level but at the federal level as well.

Being libertarian means supporting the radical leftist agenda at all levels of government, school boards, city government, county, state, and federal.

Being anti-social conservative means always fighting it, whether about which school books are being chosen, or in opening the borders and allowing homosexuality in the United States military.

Libertarianism exists to change social policy and to end social conservatism and to defeat it, while retaining conservative economics, which of course is impossible, because you cannot have small government and few social programs without social conservatism.

America is a democracy, the more broken people, the more broken families, the more broken communities, the fewer Christians, the more immigration, then the more democrat voters, not fewer, more, we have watched that for 50 years.
