Why are libertarians shilling harder than usual recently?

Because JIDF HQ told them to.

Reddit shills realized that pushing /pol/ to support a democrat will never work so they moved onto trying to make /pol/ Libertarian again. All in an effort to lose support for Trump.
I'm sure that's what it is.
Not an argument.

because this maybe the first election year where they break into double digits, which on a grand scale is atually huge because that now means a 3rd party rise will be the first time since the progressive party during Theodore Roosevelt.

I worked one day at Trump office in Cleveland. Head worker was a worker on Ron Paul campaign, the interns were all Libertarian. Got a very libertarian vibe there.

We see Trump as a stepping stone to becoming a major party. Let me explain why.
1. The dems either choose Shillary (who will lose handily and alienate a good third of dems) or Sanders (who will lose handily and alienate the majority of over-40 dems who still oppose communism.)
2. The GOP will either nominate Trump, who will win (while alienating partisans) or they don't, in which case they will lose millions of right-leaning independents, libertarian GOPers, paleocons, and the entire alt-right.
3. Should Trump be ignored he will either run independently, cracking the two party system apart under his own banner, or he will not run independently, cracking the two party system apart as millions don't bother to support the GOP anyways.
4. Libertarianism, already growing rapidly, will grow even more quickly because it is the only sensible small party in the nation; the greens may absorb some of the Sanders fans but not many. If it breaks into the double digits (now likely) a political revolution will take place, especially if Trump is not the GOP's nominee; since faith in the party itself will collapse, with the same true regardless of who the dems go for.
The future is libertarianism; I hope Trump is the nominee and he will do well, but his variant of reform is far too mild, even if commendable.

Most of us libertarians have voted for Trump in the primaries. He will win the election and we're perfectly fine with this.
But libertarianism is going to absorb literally millions of independent voters. There are a lot of GOP members who pathologically hate Trump but would never vote for Hillary who will jump aboard. And if Trump is not the nominee a good third of the GOP will abandon ship overnight, most of which will jump to the next movement the majority of them can get behind; which is the LP.
In the near future the United States will finally have a real political party; the dems and GOP are identical these days- identically dumb.

Johnson got 11% which is pretty strong in a recent poll. Good for him.

Why do you hate freedom, anon? We want to win to leave you alone.

Because we want our board back and want the Trumpchumps to go return to reddit

Trump is far closer to libertarianism than Kasich or Cruz, and for that he's the best candidate within the GOP.
But Libertarianism is rising and will soon become the dominant political movement in the civilized world. Once this happens the uncivilized horde will be walled off in favor of a two world solution; the free, civilized, libertarian world which will enjoy massive prosperity and absolute freedom, and the barbarian world which will cling to authoritarianism of various sorts; monarchies, theocracies, juntas and so forth.

>Trump is far closer to libertarianism than Kasich or Cruz
he's still 1000 miles away from anything resembling libertarianism.
>>69038318
True but he's a far sight better than the retardo-cons like Cruz or the socialist movement.
Indeed he's laying the groundwork for the Libertarian future; which will require that the neocons and neolibs first be punished.

Admittedly, I am curious to see how things turn out.....
