Well americans use the term liberal wrongly, libertarianism by definition means: classical liberalism, minarchism or anarchocapitalism. If you support gun rights you are liberal regarding guns but not necessarily lefwing.
Yes conservatives lefties and woke are the same however european politics is way more leftwing. For eg. most of the society accepted lockdowns, 80% of the people are vaccinated etc… also the populist parties are seen as very controversial unfortunately there are no normal conservative parties so you gotta choose in between rightwing populism or immigration liberalism. Most europeans are against conspiracy theories so that’s also big difference.
Small gov, direct democracy and free speech is what i associate with liberalism. The US rightwingers/conservatives can be at times ultraconservative for eg. regarding abortion but they are way more liberal when it comes to covid restrictions and guns etc. European rightwingers/conservatives are more conservative so they were mostly in support of the authoritarian covid policies. If the opposite of conservatism is radicalism the opposite of liberalism is authoritarianism.
He is very anti-big corporation especially when the government makes the rules to benefit said corporation. That’s what I like about him. I am voting for him in the Democrat primary - a primary I have never voted in before. But mainly that is because I hate Biden and all the woke Democrats. I hope he wins but I would probably vote for Desantis or Ramaswamy over RFK. I’d vote RFK over Trump though because I don’t like Trump - he begs for the admiration of the media and did every single thing Fauci wanted. I think he was OK but too easily taken advantage of.

He is basically classical liberal/libertarian candidate. Anti covid hoax and pro immigration.

The US has it’s history with libertarianism so that’s likely the reason why the rightwingers are pro small gov.
