It’s a play on nationalist conservatives. Many of them would deny being fascist like the Nazis. Despite the clear similarities. But they have embraced nationalism.
Most of them lack any academic understanding of their positions but instead rely on their daily right wing programming for the positions they believe in. Its dumb and embarrassing we let the media ecosystem get so polluted because addressing media that openly lies could be viewed as partisan.
Yes. It’s like they dialed up the “free market” and small government nonsense to 11. Meaning, no public services at all would be the goal. The government would just be there to enforce contracts between rational actors (courts and cops) and a supposedly reduced military.
I doubt too many Republicans would be down for something like toll roads everywhere for instance.
I’m reading The Blockers, and I’m regaining an appreciation for the quiet things that “big government” does. Like NIST. He gives a brief overview of the state of things prior to NIST and without something like NIST, we’d be so fucked. The outcome of “marketplace miracles” prior to NIST was having multiple versions of the foot and the gallon, and incompatible fire hydrants and so on.
What the Libertarians seem to believe about government is so utterly emotionally and intellectually stunted as to be cartoonish in my view.
I like to tie the talibangelicals/Y’all Qaeda types in to this phrasing, since they call themselves Christian nationalist, with no sense of shame or embarrassment. Turning this around to Nat-C ties this together nicely, along with the play on words.
You can just say Nazi.

While I agree, Libertarians are a very specific breed of conservative.
