> > I lean conservative/libertarian on social issues, > Aren't they opposites? Not OP, but not necessarily. Basically, Libertarians strongly support civil liberties in many forms. That can mean supporting drug legalization (liberal) and also gun rights (conservative). It can also mean supporting an individual's right to discriminate in private business transactions (men's or all-white golf clubs, hetero-only bakeries) which would likely be viewed as a really conservative social stance. Many Libertarians also strongly support States' Rights, which tend to lean conservative.
