Yeah. It is less that republicans go for the tankies and more that putin and Xinnie The Pooh are behind both groups.
Which is why it is important to always side eye anyone who advocates for not voting or for wasting a third party vote during the presidential election (state and even congress? Go wild. But not for POTUS).
It’s the other way around. There’s a lot of overlap with conservatives and big L Libertarians over idealized “rugged individualism” fantasies. Conservatives like it because it’s an excuse to continue marginalizing historically marginalized groups, and Libertarians like it because it feeds their ubermensch delusion.
So when conservatism becomes unpopular, a lot of those voters do the big L protest vote, so Republicans messaging to Libertarians is really just Republicans attempting to form ranks, not embiggen the tent.
I can’t remember when a Republican candidate sought the Libertarian vote. They must be getting desperate.
Mate, they’re going for the Tankie vote. This shit is going down to the wire.
That fix has been in since 2016

Right but I’ve never seen a Republican presidential candidate actually go to their convention.
