Here's some food for thought...

I fear that we will continue to see more of this because of folks mistaking libertarians for ultra conservatives or republican lite. The alt right figures claiming to be libertarian have not helped with this but every day I see a disproportionate amount of libertarian attacks on "liberals", "sjw's", "snowflakes" or "lefties" even joining in with conservatives while largely ignoring the authoritarians on the right. Attacking one way from far north while using the terminology of one of the authoritarian parties will make us seem that we are fighting for the authoritarian party whose terminology we are using. As libertarians we should be against authoritarianism, period. Logic and reason should be our weapons, leave the name calling to the authoritarians and leave which side of the authoritarian spectrum they fall on out of it. Authoritarians are authoritarians. Libertarians are libertarians. That's it.
