“The problem is that libertarianism breeds liberal voters, not conservative voters.”

Can you support that statement?

Also, there’s not really anything called “conservative economics”. Classical Liberalism, sure. Libertarian Economics, sure. Austrian or Chicago School Economics, sure. Your supposed hero was an admitted acolyte of “fusionism”, which relies on what he called “libertarianism”. “Conservative economics” is a misnomer.

I would argue that ‘conservative’ economics argues in favor for the preservation of the traditional family as an economic benefit.

It’s been overlooked by present theories how the breakdown of the family contributes to our economic problems - single mothers are vastly more expensive for the state than a married mom.

Don’t libertarians ever look at the voting data?

Conservatism in voting is a social conservative thing, social liberals are overwhelmingly liberal voters.

The libertarian social agenda creates liberal voters who love the libertarian social agenda, and then vote themselves economics that makes it easier for them to live it.

You really don’t know how social liberals and atheists vote, versus Evangelicals?
