    It’s needed to turn conservatives against ICE, endless war, mass surveillance, and other things where libertarians differ from conservatives. Send them a Reason link talking about it from a conservative framing and they’ll react differently from sending them a Common Dreams link. Libertarians are usually an aesthetic styling on just straight conservatism, but the authoritarianism has actually awoken some of them to their claimed principles.
