How can the alignment of Right to Repair and Republicans not be obvious?

The self-made John Galt who "makes do" without government assistance by repairing all of his things himself, especially his old American muscle car that "they don't make like they used to anymore" is a fantasy that resonates so strongly with the right wing that the FBI might as well just use it to screen for domestic terrorists.

Republicans stopped being libertarian when they started supporting Trump.

Republicans were never libertarian in any meaningful sense. There's a reason libertarians have their own party.

The reasons libertarians have their own party is so they can be blamed for in effect voting for Trump when they did not vote for Trump. It is a form of self-flagellation to ensure no matter which sides when, it is your fault to the other side.
