I can get behind the libertarian sentiment of “I want gay couples to own machines guns and grow weed,” but unless they always vote for libertarian parties, their default course of action is to almost always support the Republican Party because guns and money and “free speech” will always be more important than the lives of marginalized people.
Right wing freedom rhetoric is most easily understood as Freedom of the ruling classes (in the modern case, property owners). I know multiple libertarians on welfare who claim otherwise, but their political action and support is non-existent outside of that.
