You're both wrong. Libertarians are not anarchists and I don't buy for a second that someone who supports Trump is truly a libertarian.
Uh, yeah they are.
A libertarian is classically defined as an individual that values liberty above all else. The only group that values liberty above all else are anarchists. The only person I would really make an exception for is Ayn Rand, whose idea of government was practically local voluntarism anyways.
Only in the United States could libertarianism be perverted into meaning moderate. The term libertarian was used consistently for 150 years, and I know my political philosophy and sciences a helluva lot better than presumably anyone on this site.
