I think to change the Republican party you have to change the Republican voters and you have to change the incentives for politicians to ignore their voters.

Voters considering who to vote for need to look beyond the propaganda machine which is also deeply connected to the corruption machine. When voters investigate and think independently of the media-corruption machine, politicians will no longer be able to do what it takes to get in good with the machine and then just let the machine repay them and re-elect them forever. That’s how it is now with both parties. And if all else remained the same it would be the same result even if we had 20 different parties.

What made Trump a different - very, very welcome - option for R voters in 2016 is that he laughed at the media and said out loud what we all knew about the media already. He could afford to do that because he didn’t need the media and thus was never owned by them. The same thing held true for the corruptocracy. He was already independently wealthy; he didn’t need their bribes so he could point them out. It made him a big target and that’s why they are trying to bankrupt him through legal persecution.

If we the people can convince the straight-shooters in the R party that WE will get them elected in spite of the corrupt media we might see a new kind of R party.

I think the RINO’s bailing out is a step in the right direction, but now we the people need to outdo the media in making a convincing case to the voters.

Nope. That won’t change the party. As long as the money is coming in and they’re still winning half the elections they have no reason to change.

First part of the propaganda machine to look past is the lie of the 2 party system. It isn’t, it was never supposed to be, and it should be.

There are no straight shooters in the big parties. Once you’ve joined one your shots aren’t straight. You’re now beholden to the party. The control the funding, they control the appointments, they control you.

Nobody is bailing out.
