Although liberalism and libertarianism share some important characteristics (strong emphasis on equality before the law and civil rights), they’re not the same thing.
Notably, libertarianism can be left-wing in a way that liberalism cannot (e.g. anarcho-syndicalism, anarcho-communism, green politics, etc.). Some left-libertarians even reject the concept of private property entirely.
Liberalism doesn’t completely overlap with right libertarianism, either. Liberals are more willing to accept some authoritarian ideas, such as e.g. having a military to protect trade.
As long as you keep capitalizing the name and refer to the American political party, I would agree. However, grue is objectively correct here. A very wide set of ideologies fall under libertarianism.
A wide swath of libertarians find even the idea of a political party objectionable, for example.

Hard disagree, Libertarians are conservative anti-tax Laissez-Faire dumpster fires. They can never be left. Deregulation is not progress.

Libertarian:
One who advocates maximizing individual rights and minimizing the role of the state.
One who believes in free will.
One who holds to the doctrine of free will.
DEREGULATION IS NOT PROGRESS. These guys basically have an identical ideology to LeVayen Satanism: “Do What Thou Wilt”.
Libertarian: literally every ideology on the bottom half of the Political Compass, by definition.
