THAT is what is so frustrating. I'm involved in County party here, and was in Washington. So, what do we do...just give up?
No, don’t give up. The political scientists would look to (1) subverting Dem party. It currently acts in lock step but their arrogance will start power struggles which can be exploited. Infiltrate. Divide and conquer; (2) subvert the immigrants. Appeal to them as individuals. Sell the R goals of jobs, safety, freedom; (3) Change the R party through continuing to weed out the RINOs to become less beholden to and reliant upon GOPe and corporate elites.
Those are a few peaceful alternatives. There are also other responses (See Mel Gibson, The Patriot)
