I suspect Jones will fall into his late Bush-Era generic conspiracy-laden libertarian skeptic persona until Trump can find a way to get poll numbers back up near parity again.
He is licking a lot of Elmo boot at the moment so he might pivot to more of that.
Jones sacrificed too much of his integrity, in the hope that people will mistake his vicinity to power with wielding actual power, to pivot hard back to his old persona. I don’t think the real libertarian types will forget Jones’s enthusiasm for a police state, as long as 'his guy’s is the one in power.
On the other hand that would require critical thinking skills and some level of integrity and most people in those circles lack at least one of those.
Edit: I’ve been waiting for his buyer’s remorse to kick in since at least 2017 so this is tasty as fuck.

I mean… The vast majority of self proclaimed libertarians I’ve met feel that way when you press them on that the state should do, rather than what it shouldn’t do. No quarter when enforcing property rights in an economic system that creates large amounts of poverty requires a police state.

You have to have integrity to sacrifice it.
I mean in the perception of his listeners of course. I phrased it weird.
How much did he have to spare?
