Then you haven’t been paying attention. Not only have I always been against Trump (and Clinton and anyone else running for President*), I’m by no means alone. There are many vocal libertarian anti-Trump folks out there.

Of course, the big problem is many anti-libertarians call themselves libertarians, so those of us against Trump are overlooked by basically statists in libertarian drag. A good litmus test these days is asking any self-identified libertarian if they’re for open borders. If they’re not, then they’re not a libertarian. (Like with the War on Terror, Trump’s rise to power has shown me who the fake libertarians are.)
