Dude, you don't even know who you're talking to. You think I'm defending Christianity, whereas I'm an atheist who has written dozens of articles on Medium eviscerating that religion.

I've also written lots of articles on Trumpism. By "libertarian Trumpians," I meant libertarian in the general, Republican sense of white, laissez-faire Americans. Lots of Republicans who used to talk about the free market gave up that rhetoric, following Trump's demagoguery about the culture war. Lots of those Republicans are individualists in name only since they're following Trump beyond all standards of rationality or even sanity. It's become a cult, which is the opposite of individualism.

By the way, lots of Trump's supporters are also racist and badly misinformed by Fox News. But that's what a demagogue does: he taps into people's real outrage and redirects that energy to empower himself at everyone else's expense.

I congratulate you on seeing through Trump. So there we have two common grounds: antipathy towards theistic religion and towards Trump.
