It’s time. It can be done. It’s been done elsewhere.
This doesn’t have to be like the “Ross Perot” fiasco.
The Republicans and the Democrats are too close together now, and they’re both wrong. It will take time, but it can be done.
I’m praying for you good people.

Amen.

On the right, we have a combination of limited government constitutionalist type folks, and social conservatives who are Republicans who openly embrace and promote Christian morality and think govenment is there to help them. For myself, I think I'm a little of each. But there is a strain of "social conservatives" who are ... well, our bigots. For example, they cannot tolerate or abide a gay couple, and call them names, would perhaps want to seek them out and drive them away. Or that a kind-handed benefactor with a soft-spot for sinners is a "communist whacko facist." Those kinds exist, but they're ours. True conservatism is to keep the government out of it and let people make their own moral choices and pay the price for them. People have a right to discriminate for or against open homosexuality through their own peaceful actions that are within God's perameters of good behavior. We managed to do it pretty well for 200 years.

ON THE LEFT, you have a lot of sheep who are pretty sick of all the government nanny state, and who blame Republicans for it. They like to think of themselves as "libertarians" because they (like many conservatives) misinterpret the word. "Liberal" is what comes to their minds, and "libertine" is what comes to certain conservatives' minds. Some of the left's "libertarians" are radical anarcists who confuse "libertarian" with the concept of getting rid of all government except that which enforces thier vision, like stopping communities from outlawing abortion. They don't understand that in libertarian principle, Roe v Wade couldn't exist but a community would have the right to regulate or outlaw it as they saw fit.

Most people simply want less government, especially people who are legitimate American voters, stakeholder, taxpayers, folks with roots here. Elections are fraudulent now and that skews things.

In any case, less government will allow moreal people to live MORE morally, and to create MORE MORAL communities. Right now, governmemnt pretty mucjh prohibits it! A lot of Democrats hate that as much as a lot of Republicans do. THAT is the balance for the third party, and IT CAN BE DONE.

It can be done. But there has to be some give and take, and social conservatives are going to have to "give" on seeking Federal government oversight of moral failings. Abortion should be illegal in all 50 states, but I will settle for the overthrow of Roe V Wade because I think that local governents might surprise folks with solid moral choices in limited government.
