The question was not about Ben Shapiro being a libertarian. I don't see anybody saying he is. It's not even about whether he's on the right side most of the time or the wrong side most of the time.
It's about this weird mindset of keeping however many degrees of separation from him that you two apparently want to keep.
You don't just not support him, you refuse to support anyone he supports, regardless what his reasons for supporting that person may be and regardless what reasons you might have to support this other person. It all boils down to that one litmus test.
Nobody with that kind of mindset could possibly have supported Ron Paul for president, given the diverse supporters he had.
And that kind of absolutism won't stop there. Now, if some other libertarian runs for something somewhere, if Milei supports them, that will prove to you that they're not really libertarians either, because if Milei supports them, and Shapiro supports Milei, they simply can't be any good. And so on ad infinitum.
