I would say conservatives are worse on social policy and libertarians are worse on economic places

    I’m not entirely sure what a Libertarian is to be honest, the definition changes by the day. Could someone help me out?

      It’s a broad term. Basically anyone who wants to weaken/destroy the state might call themselves such. It was popularized thanks to oil oligarchs before they realized they could just make the mainstream neo-liberal and get what they want. The positions that are commonly held by followers can include deregulation, decreasing taxes, gun-rights, increasing free-speech, decreasing oppression for minorities, and decreasing militarism (though some want military to be the only thing the government spends money on).
