However, while it’s debatable how fiscally conservative many of today’s Republicans actually are, there should no longer be any doubt that the “socially liberal” clause of the aforementioned description is now null and void when it comes to the Democratic Party. Not only have Democrats advocated for the destruction of the Second Amendment and the limitation of the First Amendment, but Democratic politicians are also in favor regulating sexual activities and expanding the war on drugs to include tobacco. In short, American liberals don’t believe in social freedom the way libertarians do, so it’s disingenuous to say libertarians are aligned with them on social issues.
