<I still don't get why everyone seems to think that Libertarians are just Republicrats in drag. >

Because sheeple have a short attention span, they think in slogans, proverbs and cliches, they think of Libertarian as 'less tax and less government than Republicans' who are 'less tax and less government and for guns, rich people and oil companies'.

Typical thinking would be that Libertarians are weird anarchists or something.

The political spectrum runs from a great deal of state ownership and control [North Korea being the main example outside primitive and tribal ways of life] to the semi-socialist Democrats who spend half the country's money, to the Republicans who spend half the country's money too but in a slightly different way, to the Libertarians who would spend none of the country's money [working from donations].

So sheeple figure that Libertarians are just more extreme Republicans. They don't see the qualitative difference.

So they flock to the polls and vote to be kept in a paddock and fleeced [or worse].

That's my theory anyway,
