Liberaltarians in no shape or disguise resemble Reagan conservatism.
Modern conservatism will be shaped by Reagan conservatism until a new winning coalition is formed. Note that Reagan accepted libertarians as part of that coalition but didn’t not accept Libertarianism on its own.
The three pillars of R Conservatism are:
1. Limited govt...low tax, lower spending
2. Peace through Strength, strong defense and foreign policy
3. Social Conservatism: Pro Life, Pro Family, basic agreed upon morality. Strong on crime etc.
Modern libertarians have three courses of #1 and skip 2 and 3.
Too bastardize the libertarian beliefs into “real conservatism” or “real” limited govt or “real” Constitutional government is a lie. It will not work btw.
Since Reagan, the coalition of the above pillars included libertarians. The new breed of libertarians have absolutely radicalized themselves and alienated themselves away from the conservative Reagan coalition.
