      Two sides of the same coin these days.

      Conservatives seem to mostly be libertarians that have realised they can use single-issue voter, crazy church shit to get themselves elected.

        They’re libertarians when it comes to them being able to do whatever they want, and they’re fascists when it comes to things they don’t want to do. Has actually nothing to do with political philosophy, it’s just naked short-term self interest. (They don’t even care if something will be bad for them in a few years.)
