Prime example of not understanding libertarianism. Rand hated libertarians. She was not one. She has influenced many on the right including libertarians though but she also influenced many republicans as well.

In my opinion anyone happy about DOGE should thank Ron Paul and the liberty movement. Many people working with Trump are highly influenced by Paul and Rand as well as Rothbard and Mises. They are far from purists but the influence is obvious. Libertarians helped elect Trump. So they are making an impact. Don't base your opinion on online interactions like this one :) Not a monolith.
