Don’t skip secession. Each state is a small country by design. Some not so small.

I want disengagement in order to kill the Republican Party. Once that useless craven party is dead and buried then we can build a real opposition party. But we cannot do that until the Republican Party is dead and gone.

Disengaging is not a politically viable choice.

Without free and fair elections there IS no politically viable choice.

Mot people live their lives conservatively, even blacks.

Why participate in election fraud where they use our votes to proclaim a fair election? Voting is a farce at this point and a waste of time. It only serves to legitimize their weaponizing our elections to take over our country.

We have revoked our voter registration. The Colorado GOP hates Trump and committed acts of election fraud against Trump electors in 2016, refusing to seat them.

It stops feeding the second of the two corrupt parties—Republicans.

Can you genuinely say a party (all but six or so Senate votes) that votes for millions in gender bending therapy in Pakistan while that party's president is being illegally ushered out by the same people should be supported?

Neither our votes or our monies matter when the elections are fraudulent in Republican-run states. We already knew the dead voted Democrat in all the Democrat-run states.

EXACTLY!

Pulling a “Benedict option” and pouting behind the walls does NOTHING to improve things.

Engage the culture, but realize most need to be converted. Be a light in the darkness, but remember most will not understand it.

Going Galt is a nice little pipe dream, but it ignores human nature. By going Galt, you make yourself a target. When the screeching Karens see you have freedom, they will come after you (they already are!)

I’d join you but I don’t seem to see one of those stair lift chairs in the picture you posted.

CVA, that is a decent plan, but all that will accomplish is the remnants of conservative thought being dumped out of the halls of power.

Much better to subvert them back. A reverse Gramsci.

This is not the work of weeks, or years, but generations.

If we can keep capitalism alive people will be naturally conservative. The left has convinced conservative people to vote against their natural sensibilities of what is right.

So we can infiltrate the Democrat party which is a good idea but at the same time killing the Republican Party off completely is also paramount. Do it like Fox News is being killed off but an a larger scale. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY and globalism in general are weeds blocking us of water and light. We need to weed them out from the political garden so a new crop of nationalism can be planted.

“Without free and fair elections there IS no politically viable choice.”

Oh, I agree. The Left controls the Voter Fraud Knob and that knob will never be spun to the Right. I was thinking of a more revolutionary “political” approach. I didn’t communicate that very well.

Not disengaging.

Waiting to engage with prejudice.

Not only all of the above you mentioned.

You can also include liquidation of assets held in US accounts. I am looking for ways to move money OUT OF THE USA.

Please feel free to make suggestions.

Except that economic conservatism is not in peoples nature.

Cutting off the ladder behind them, blocking someone from achieving success, IS.

That is the big gap in libertarian philosophy. The assumption that everyone will worry about themselves, but not worry about any other person who is or may compete with them.

But otherwise you are spot on. As I said, it is a long march through the institutions,

Then again, there are the words of Carl von Clausewitz,

“War is not an independent phenomenon, but the continuation of politics by different means.

The flaw in your plan is in assuming you’ll be able to vote with any meaning. Hint: you won’t.

Remember the town hall meetings six years ago where irate folks showed up? Well, it needs to be this times 10 and declared a revolt with free speech on level 11.
A civil war will only destroy our country and the future becomes a huge question mark.
