The Republicans are fucking useless. At this point the whole party is 80% RINOs who are slow walking and stalling Trump and Co. in order to get back to business as usual as soon as he is out of office.
Look at Congress taking 2 weeks in the middle of a legal battle between Trump and the judges. Look at how many strong words without any consequences have been issued.
Say what you will about the democrats, but if the roles where reversed they would've already impeached all of these judges.
The only people putting in the work are MAGA people: Trump, JD, Tulsi, RFK, Kash, Pete and their supporters.
After the midterms, Trump needs to announce the creation of the MAGA party so that even the average brain dead normie can see the contrast between the weak republicucks and their strongly worded letters vs the patriots that car about this country and what to get stuff done.
Teddy Roosevelt tried that after Taft’s first term. Split up a dominate Republican Party allowing Woodrow Wilson to win and forever shift America’s timeline with the Federal Reserve and WW1.
Do not recommend.
Tbf, the Fed and WW1 would've have happened with or without Roosevelt.
The cabal wanted to build the Fed for close to a century leading up to 1913. They just capitalized on that. Even if Teddy, didn't try to break up the duopoly, the Fed would've come into fruition sooner or later.
However, his failure to do so, actually brought US the uniparty which has almost destroyed our country. Countless 3rd party candidates like Ron Paul and Ross Perot for example never made it to power to to the fix that was in post Teddy. Trump actually learned from those and ended up picking the Republican party despite the fact that with every day the difference between them is growing by the second.
The man was fighting monopolies all his life. The political system was just another thing, however he failed.
That's why we need to learn from that and do it this time. The people are ready too.
Take Trump out, and who does the Republican party have right now?
Agreed it would have happened, but having Taft at the wheel, or at least a Republican would have changed things considerably.
Not that I think its a good replacement, But JD right now. Flushing out RINOs and replacing with new-era / Trump Republicans is working. At least, in my opinion working better than a new party. After the "destruction" of the democrat party, I think you're onto something. Destroy the Republican party and start a new. I refer to Progressive Party / Republican split in 1912 because it allowed a weak Democrat party to take power. A similarly weak democrat party now.
Not sure how they are being flushed out.
Sure, we have a the glowing RINOs like Cheney, Bush and Co,
But then people like Lindsey Graham get endoresed for the midterms for example.
I'm not yet seeing a wholesale clean of the Republican party.
"Would've" is short for "would have" hence using the word "have" after "would've" makes for poor grammar.
No.
Thank you!
FINALLY!
Someone says it out loud.
"278748" and "BerlinWallCrosser" have the right insight. I was in the Libertarian Party for close to 20 years. It had a lot of promise, but ultimately degenerated into a lowbrow personality power struggle on ideological lines and ended up being less than a footnote in history. Completely irrelevant. A total embarrassment. People love to vote "libertarian," because they don't want to look like the utter fools they are for throwing their vote into the trash can.
Also, the desire for a Third Party is not really motivated by any conception of lasting political influence, but by laziness. It is hard work to build a party, and it is tempting to avoid it. Avoiding it leads to the Libertarian result: nothing. And besides, the grassroots of the GOP are now MAGA anyway. All that needs doing is replacement of RINO holdouts with MAGA loyalists. Anyone here planning on running against a RINO in the primary? And in the meantime, burning up the telephone lines to your nominally RINO Congressman and searing their asses for failing to back the MAGA agenda. Anyone here doing that?
I'm a veteran of union politics, a very unsavory environment, and I got my gut-full of those who opined about what should be done, but were the last to get off their asses and do anything. The ones who actually made things happen didn't have time to spare for opining. So, talk all you want about what other people need to do to save the world, but leave me out. I just want to hear what YOU are DOING to save the world.
So, what am I doing? I spent time in the glory years of the Libertarian Party. I've led a political resistance movement in a large union to expel a Deep State protege. I've done my bit to support Trump, but now I'm old, I'm sick, and I live in an insanely Democratic state (Washington) where even a RINO would be welcome. I keep my eyes and ears open as to what I can do within my means and powers. I offer advice for free! (Such a bargain.)
Look, the next best thing to running yourself for office is to join the campaign of some promising contender and offer your service as a research assistant, policy wonk, or speech writer. Develop the classic debater's Rolladex with cue cards on topics, facts, and figures. In other words, get behind and push. Everyone wants to be a leader, but there is so little appreciation of what goes into being a good follower.
Thank you for your input.
What do you think of the Tea Party?
I remember Obama weaponizing the IRS against them because they were gaining traction.
I was never that close to the Tea Party. Preoccupied with my own life at the time. But my impression now is that they were the leading edge of the MAGA movement. The less I say about Obama, the more civil I will be.
IMO.Seems pretty well set up now.MAGA growing and demanding is swaying some politicians,without losing the numbers advantage.We need to be far more demanding.More public.Rallies of our own making perhaps.All our cabinet leaders are too busy to attend,but I imagine many congressional reps. would jump at the chance to pretend to be MAGA affiliated.I think many of us are afraid we will insult President Trump and cabinet by seeming ungrateful for all they have done.Also,I think our president has to be careful not to be seen incite something that may turn violent.Their paid protesters would be so vastly outnumbered,they would have to resort to violence.The use of violence and the resistance to it.(A thorough ass whipping for antifa.) would further galvanize our base.
Clean out the RINOs instead and practice some party discipline. Then put only MAGA on the ballot.
How do you do that though?
The Republican Party doesn't have a deep state. It is a deep state. Everything is compromised from top to bottom and outside Trump nobody does anything.
Trump and Co. are the outliers. That's why it's quicker to just announce your own party and build it up. Considering how much weight his recommendation currently holds, it would be the perfect time to do so.
Don’t underestimate the exposure of kickbacks in both parties.
Rename GOP to MAGA. Done.
A few years ago someone asked President Trump about this and he declined. Maybe now he will be more open to it - we can have MAGA and the uniparty.
Having a triumvirate would be preferable than having a duopoly, simply because there would need to be concessions by all the parties involved in order to pass laws and bills.
In theory, they should balance each other without compromising too much of their integrity.
Currently we have Party A wins election, does what it wants.
Party B wins election, doesn't do anything.
Rinse and repeat.
He did! It is called Trumplican Party!
Here's how it's likely to go down, in accordance w/ our greatest wishes.
When the Great Awakening awakens the masses, one of the outcomes will be the complete and utter destruction of the Democrat and Republican Parties as we know them.
From the ashes of the GOP will come the MAGA party that we so richly deserve.
