No, this would certainly not be the case. Regardless of whoever wins the president, we would want to:
- Discuss all policy matters that are getting attention, work out what is the best course of action.
- Push for the best course of action.
- Hold the president accountable for their campaign promises that we liked.
- Work to stop potential agenda items that we don't like.
None of this has anything to do with supporting or not supporting a candidate, and we'd still have done with any pro-liberty candidate. If anything, we would want to hold our own to an even higher standard so they do not harm our message. I hope this helps clear things up.

I strive to respond to all queries; please excuse late and out-of-sequence responses.
The only opinions that we'll censor are ones based on group hate-- (ex: racism, sexism, etc). We can debate these with non-supporting people who sign up here, but as a base, these it not acceptable within our camp, per the guidelines.
We also do not allow people to promote candidates we do not support. Consider if a Bernie supporter came here and started a "Donate to Bernie" thread and similar, it would technically be off-topic to derail that thread but it would lower the value of the site to allow it, it goes against our Mission to help raise money for Bernie. We of course have no reason to back down on a fair debate of Bernie's policies.
That said, there does have to be some balance within the thread volume of what is going on as others have suggested.
Being a new member has no bearing on you providing value or not, so this isn't an issue. Logic and good ideas are what is taken well which can come from anyone. Thanks for contributing.
The GOP / Dem's are dominating the news cycle, for many it's of value to keep up with what is going on which can build talking points to use elsewhere.
I agree that we'd do good to rally around liberty minded candidates, but it's a personal choice and not something as a site we can force. It is also a personal choice as to what forums show up in your newsfeed, members can exclude the GOP/Dem forum from showing up. See the "Exclude forums from "New Posts"" here:

* See my visitor message area for caveats related to my posting history here.
* Also, I have effectively retired from all social media including posting here and are basically opting out of anything to do with national politics or this country on federal or state level and rather focusing locally. I may stop by from time to time to discuss philosophy on a general level related to Libertarian schools of thought and application in the real world.
Take it up with Walter Block. He is who came up with the name and whose article by the same name was posted by the OP.

The correct title for this would be PALEOCONS FOR TRUMP. The America First, build a wall, general xenaphobia coupled with a military withdrawal from world affairs, and an aggressive love of trade wars speaks to the heart of paleocon philosophy. Its true there is some overlap with libertarian thinking especially military matters but its wrong to say that libertarians should enamored of this guy. Hell Cruz has some overlap with libertarians. Ending the federal war on marijuana, ending the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Education, Department of Energy, Department of Commerce, Department of Housing and Urban Development, etc
Cruz, the proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing.
He stood by Rand until it was time to vote.
Trump tweeted that he thinks the Fed should be audited.
Trump chided Cruz in his tweet for missing a Senate vote on an "Audit the Fed" bill in January. The bill failed 53-44.
From a Zerohedge article:
Other people's opinions may and do vary but that is no deterrent to me in my agreement with the various articles that mirror the Zerohedge article and that the MSM, AND this forum completely ignores.When a leading nominee for President gets something exactly right, we should applaud them for it.* In this case, Donald Trump’s call to audit the Federal Reserve is dead on correct.* Most Americans don’t realize this, but the Federal Reserve has far more power over the economy than anyone else does – including Barack Obama.*
Just what the hell are you libertarians afraid of?
You're new, so:
1) Read the RULES.
2) Do NOT promote anything that the rules, as WE interpret them, forbid.
3) Free Speech is a huge NOT on a liberty forum.
4) Observe ONLY… no likes or dislikes will be tolerated.
5) Feel free to visit the local supermarket daily and dredge any Never Trump articles you see in the Inquirer and post them here with impunity (or, whine like a stuck pig if opposed).
6) When the Redcoats kick your door in, remember, the King sets the rules. You have no say, rebel.
Gotcha. Sounds as boring as it reads, and good luck with that sort of "Liberty".
Yeah, because God knows the whole reason this forum was set up in the first place and maintained all this time was just so some psychotic authoritarian could send in a paid army of shills, knock all of our business off the first page of every subforum and the New Posts board too, and disrupt all our discussions by hijacking each thread.
Gee, why wouldn't we all approve of that wholeheartedly? Let's just rename it breitbartjr.com!

I have to conclude that trumpies are the kind of people who would apparently be just fine if somebody camped out on their yards and business premises with Hillary signs. They have no idea how accepting Bryan is being.
I will not be joining "Libertarians for Trump". Might join "Libertarians for Billy Kristol & his treasonous horde being uncomfortable".

How does POTUS (the "I" part of the sentence) repeal a law?
Gee… all we have to do to get an interpretation from anyone who says anything is… ask you?
I'm a Libertarian and I'm for Trump. Wanna fight about it? Bring your silly meme to the next Trump rally and start swinging.
