I'm kinda the same with being a mut. I'm a right leaning libertarian. I don't fit neatly into a political group so I just vote whatever is closer to where I line up and that's republicans most of the time. I'll vote for someone just because of a single issue. In my opinion, voting for independents is pointless unless they co-op one of the two parties.  I'll just agree to disagree on trump.

I agree with the independent thing. Also, I have a question. What is a Libertarian? Never bothered to check. Whats that ideologies core beliefs?

Here's a explanation of the different schools of libertarianism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism 

Here's the basic pitch.

"Libertarianism is a collection of political philosophies and movements that uphold liberty as a core principle. Libertarians seek to maximize political freedom and autonomy, emphasizing freedom of choice, voluntary association, individual judgment, and self-ownership.

Libertarians share a skepticism of authority and state power. However, they diverge on the scope of their opposition to existing political and economic systems. Various schools of libertarian thought offer a range of views regarding the legitimate functions of state and private power, often calling to restrict or to dissolve coercive social institutions."

 

Here's the stances for a basic libertarian on the issues.
