I mean conservatives have always been masquerading as (L)ibertarians since 1971 here in the US.
Just a sign that they are easily manipulated
Actual libertarianism is open border like you know people who want to do business here have every right to, and for those “illegals” that commit crimes you have the guns.
Fake libertarianism think it should be controlled…. Wait, by what government? :facepalm: xenophobic much?
But libertarians are conservative. They just also like weed and bitcoin
Libertarians denying their conservatism so they can act wicked online while propping up Christian nationalism in the real world is happening!
It's interesting that conservatives would try to masquerade as libertarians, considering that conservatives are the one that want to and have tread all over our rights. Hopefully nobody is falling for it. They are essentially the antithesis of liberty and freedom; see voting, abortion, lgbtq rights, and on and on and on...
Consummate V's! I said consummate!
Guy wouldn't know majesty if it came up and bit him in the face...

Gadsenflagge
My personal favorite:
Don't forget
Here's a parody by me, made when I was much more naive and Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid just came out.
No, that's not the best Gadsden flag parody. Far from it. Here's some better ones:
As a European I see these for the first time, where do they come from? Usually I see eagles, donkeys and elephants with US stuff
Bald Eagles are the US national bird, elephants are the Republican mascot, and Donkeys are the Democrat mascot. The subject here is a parody of the Gadsden Flag, which is linked in the other comment.
Appropriate account.
Here's some of my set
Thought that robot one should have said "STAB!" until I looked closer.
we need a badger version
There is no masquerading. Libertarians are just cons/repubs without the religion who smoke weed
Libertarians are just republicans with a better working knowledge of local age of consent laws.
Libertarians today
Libertarian? Isn't that just Conservative with extra steps?
No, in theory libertarians are pro-choice, pro-LGBT, pro-drugs, pro-open borders.
Not saying that American Libertarians believe those things, but libertarianism specifically supports things that are non-conservative social issues.
What's clear is that the Right-wing's whole thing doesn't exactly attract (good) artists. They tend to borrow and steal most of their iconography rather than make something new^1^. Strangely, the whole movement also seems to be both unable to execute parody nor see the humor in self-parody, which I assert is a faculty needed to pull off good political art.
So that puts some serious creative power in league with everyone else. Should be interesting.
^1^ - MAGA is a great example of this. The slogan itself is lifted from Reagan's 1980 campaign, so it's nothing new. The current slogan marketing "design" is nothing more than a white serif font on a red field, which in highly-technical graphic design terms is called: "lazy as fuck."
The slogan itself is lifted from Reagan’s 1980 campaign, so it’s nothing new
...Which in turn lifted it from the National Front's "Make Britain Great Again," which is the last time it was actually clever wordplay.
Oh wow. So it's double-poached from an actually witty slogan? These cretins really are the worst.
