How did American Libertarianism come to be synonymous with far-right/Austrian "economics" and the like?

To further add, I think its fair to say moist Libertarians see themselves as the "true" continuation of the founding fathers of the U.S.'s view, though I don't think the political/economic theory consensus of the founding fathers (if there was any sort of consensus) would actually line up much with modern Objectivist type libertarians and Austrian school types. Despite this, I think even many people who aren't libertarians still accept this narrative. How did this come about, if it even did?

What basis do you have for claiming that austrian economics are far right?
