The National Libertarian Party is trying to illegally purge some of the only remaining libertarians in the Libertarian Party.
The stated reason is because in 2024, a completely different leadership team endorsed Donald Trump.
The real reason is they’re left-wing losers who can’t stand to see right-wing libertarians succeed.
All we do is win, and it makes them so angry.

“What does it actually mean to be disaffiliated? Can LPNH still exist?”
Disaffiliation means we lose our name. That’s the whole point of it.
It also means we lose the ability to participate in New Hampshire politics as the rightful New Hampshire affiliate.
“What was the reason?”
The motion to disaffiliate cited the following:
- Endorsed Donald Trump
- “Espoused numerous anti-libertarian positions” (not specified)
- Unintelligible
- “And more” (not specified)
Watch the full discussion and vote (19 min).
“Did current LPNH leadership endorse Donald Trump?”
No. Not a single member of the current executive committee voted to endorse Donald Trump. They are illegally attempting to punish LPNH for the actions of a completely separate leadership team.
There has been no evidence submitted of LPNH’s current leadership acting in any way contrary to the Libertarian Party bylaws or libertarianism.
“Were any other avenues considered?”
We don’t know what discussions happened behind closed doors, but the LNC rejected forming an investigative committee before acting.
“Was the national committee just elected? Did they campaign on disaffiliation?”
This was one of the first acts of a brand new leadership committee that was elected just earlier the same day this action happened.
It happened without notice and without any ability for us to have representatives present.
Few, if any, of the elected officers campaigned on disaffiliation. This is an illegal coup enacted with no regard for the law or libertarian principles.
