No. Wilson openly threw liberties to the winds. Cleveland did not order the killings.

     I agree with this as well as with the caveat that others point out that Wilson was clearly not a fascist.

The only individuals who protested WW1 were mainly the socialists, but Woodrow Wilson deported them all. Thus future Libertarians probably benefited from the governments actions without even realizing it.

     So? Tyrannical actions on the part of government are bad, regardless of whether they benefit us or not. Nevermind that the idea of libertarians benefitting from socialists being deported is rather questionable.
