Is a "Libertarian for Trump" Really a Libertarian?
Anyone who claims him or herself to be a "Libertarian for Trump" is betraying personal principles and at odds with the very nature of liberty.
When looking at libertarians, it is first important to distinguish between the two key types. As a point of clarification, there is a difference between ‘libertarian’ and ‘Libertarian’. Much like ‘catholic’ and ‘Catholic,’ the two have some philosophical differences. ‘Libertarian’ with a capital ‘L’ is of the philosophy of Liberty and the official Libertarian party; ‘libertarian’ with a lowercase ‘l’ is a malleable philosophical adherence to Liberty.
Many of the organizations such as Cato, FEE, Mises Institute, Independent Institute, Young Americans for Liberty, Students for Liberty, etc. put ‘libertarian’ with a lowercase ‘l’ on their paperwork due to government restrictions for 401c3 nonprofit organization holders to not be affiliated with a political party, even though they are each advocating Liberty and mostly adhere to Libertarian ideology.
