There is no reason anymore. If I could change my registration, I would but my state doesn’t register party. That said, I’ve stopped giving and have removed myself from mailers. when they call, I politely explain that, after being a strong GOP support for more than 20 years, being a BPOU precinct chair, running for more county party leadership etc., I am no longer a Republican. I am a Conservative. The party is no longer Conservative and I’m tired of settling for the lesser of two evils. So I won’t do it anymore.
I know that third parties don't work (historically), but I'm wondering if the exodus of Conservatives and Independents will be large enough to destroy the GOPe, while being strong enough to form a new alternative to the GOPe?
The only political power we currently have is being able to change who we support...either financially, or as an active party member.
