If tax cuts and typical libertarian shenanigans are the cost to take within the system, to end genocide (doubt it, but fingers crossed) then by all means I think it should be taken, if one is to decide to engage with and legitimize the system at all (IMO a futile effort).
All those tax cuts will do, anyways, is further erode and destroy the foundations of the system. I’m not an accelerationist- I believe in working to make things better for people, not worse- but in the face of genocide, absolutely this is the infinitely better (still not ideal, futile, etc) option.
I can see what you mean. There’s also the precedent that this person could do equally heinous shit the second he enters office. There is also the trend that libertarians tend to fall on their face or lose popularity (Aleppo) when they start gaining national steam. If he manages to make an actual debut in politics; sure, why not. I was gonna vote for the worm anyways.

Knowing libertarians, and knowing the US- probably. Frankly, I don’t think someone who actually stands against genocide could even make it for POTUS in the first place, and if they did, they’d be JFKed (rest in piss, though everyone who came after was worse) in a heartbeat. The AmeriKKKan empire is a beast in its own right, its very institutions and elite culture that of living, breathing, continuous genocide, and no single person alone can change its course- frankly I don’t even think there’s possibility for redemption, or changing of the course within the system at this point, the rot has set in so deep, not that the US was ever anything other than a festering genocidal cancer on this world to begin with, but at this point it has long since metastasized into something truly fatal (IMO).
And yet despite all that I’ve said above, I won’t lie, if I were AmeriKKKan, and if there were a candidate that ran on a platform of- such a basic, simple thing, yet impossible to even comprehend for much of the US elites- “no genocide”- I would vote for them in a heartbeat, even betting on the slim chance it could be done.
