One must first realize that the term "libertarian" has been completely corrupted by the political party of the same name. However, let's take a look at the dictionary definition of the word...
1. One who advocates maximizing individual rights and minimizing the role of the state.
2. One who believes in free will.
While I admit that this type of politics is not commonly practiced in Washington these days, it could become a very viable, self-sustaining political movement. Maybe I'm overly optimistic and hopeful, but I feel that the Republican Liberty Caucus and Mike Pence's RSC are positioning themselves to make great strides in the next decade or so, and to finally put today's big-government school of thought to a rest.
