I think they use libertarian because they’re allergic to the word liberal. Daddy (only living relative) is full on QAnon. Without going into too much personal detail let’s just say they’re not a deep political thinker. They view themselves as “conservative” but they’re far less socially conservative than I am in actual lived practice. Heavy policy is a little too abstract for them. Rhetoric clips and political perceived “outsiderness” is more their level of comprehension.
The other one occasionally uses Libertarian because they’re Christian (which, debatable from where I sit) and want a “hands off my life” approach more than they care about actual government function.
Again both of these people barely finished school and have had their lives largely dictated by abusive men. One is even Native and still voted for Trump because at least he’s not “the establishment” they also praise Bernie for the same reasons.
I think it boils down to two women grasping for a label to describe themselves in an environment that is hostile to who they actually are in practice.
