They are also excited about Trump's appointment of Republicans Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to Trump's new federal Department of Government Efficiency.

Amidst all the excitement over Donald Trump's election, however, we libertarians must never lose sight of our goal: the achievement of a free society. A genuinely free society does not entail putting "better" or "different" people in charge of running the welfare-warfare state departments and agencies that have destroyed our freedom and produced our serfdom. Genuine freedom necessarily entails the abolition of all departments and agencies that infringe on freedom.

In other words, we don't win our freedom because a liberal-Democrat-turned-Trumpster like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., replaces liberal Democrat Xavier Becerra as head of the federal Department of Health and Human Resources. We win our freedom by achieving the dismantling — the abolition — the termination — the end — of the federal Department of Health and Human Resources.

In fact, as I have long maintained, the best way to achieve freedom with respect to healthcare is by totally separating healthcare and the state, just as our ancestors separated religion and state.

Republicans and, unfortunately, some conservative-libertarians hate that idea. They simply want to get rid of the liberal statists who run the healthcare agencies (and other welfare-warfare state agencies) and replace them with conservatives or liberal Democrats-turned-Trumpsters, such as Kennedy and Gabbard.
