The GOP has shown that it does not have the spine for a fight. So I propose that it is now time for a new party. Lets reconstitute the Tea Party as a formal political party.
What can I do? In the face of the coming storm, what constructive actions can we take to conserve what works and protect ourselves? Here are a few actionable solutions anyone can adopt at a personal or local level.
Find your tribe. Network, meet in person. Social media can’t censor what you say in private. This also helps you emotionally, since you’re meeting with people who support you instead of mistaking the digital lynch mobs for what matters.
Preserve conservative institutions like churches, schools and clubs. Fight social justice infiltration or pressure to submit to liberal political demands like, “you really need a BLM lecturer in here, you’ll be good if you throw up our political symbols”.
Educate. Teach your kids your values at an early age, by reading stories that share your values. Don’t let the kids go to drag queen story time or social justice story time. Protest if the school or daycare does this, or if you’re not able to do that, take your kid out and discuss the protest with other parents. Abilene Paradox – people wrongly think that the official dictate is what everyone agrees with because no one says anything against it.
Buy books that explain the conservative worldview and defend it like those by Dennis Prager. Buy books that explain why liberals and conservatives are different without demonizing them like Jonathan Haidt’s works. And start book clubs reading these books. Hello, tribe!
Fight any attempt to add social justice to codes of conduct. For example, the National Association of Realtors just implemented a policy where you can be fined or expelled for “hate speech”, public or private. Other organizations have weaker versions of this, but expect it to ramp up.
Law, medicine and social work already have rules regarding this, equating trust and respect and empathy to liberal values - so you can’t get licensed if you don’t agree. Fight this, if you don’t want to be kicked out of professional organizations if you don’t pass the liberal political litmus test.
Hire conservatives, because businesses are firing them. Assist those who have been fired for their beliefs.
2ndvote.com allows you to find conservative and neutral businesses that share your values.
You can even sort by category (restaurants, groceries, hardware, retail) or values (pro-life, 2nd amendment).
Do you like the local or national conservative talk show hosts? Buy the stuff they’re hawking, and especially use the reference or discount codes they provide. This will tell sponsors that this sponsorship is financially important to them. And that helps keep these shows on the air.
Clean your room. Sort yourself out. You can’t fix the world, but you can improve your own life and situation. Read Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University books. Get out of debt. Save up an emergency fund. If Biden’s cronies crash the economy, you’re in a much better situation. And you’re in a Christian group that can be the start of your tribe, or you can arrange classes at your church or with your networking groups to bring everyone closer together.
Encourage Sanctuary Cities/Sanctuary States on any issue you support. Second Amendment sanctuaries already exist. Pro-life Sanctuaries are far fewer but could spread. Support the groups that got these policies passed, and encourage such movements in your area. You may not be able to change federal tax and immigration policy, but you can try to preserve free speech if someone can implement a First Amendment Sanctuary law at a state level.
Use the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) college rankings on free speech to determine the least liberal schools in your area to send your kids to.
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S actions (those that he was able to force down duplicitous repugnant republican throats) indicate to me that he is an HONORABLE, HONEST, CONSERVATIVE man.
SWARZENEASSHOLES actions just proved he was married to a Kennedy and an undercover LIBERAL PUKE!!!!
No way the man who actually had the border wall built to the extethat he could, is a false flag.
I think you might have misread my post.
I was suggesting the possibility of Antifa/BLM activists dressed as police were used in the Capitol Hill attack to confuse both the Trump supporters (encouraging them to go through barriers) and the genuine Capitol Hill police (giving false directions to lower ranks). This would have nothing to do with President Trump, but with whoever organized the false flag attack.
These threads only out those who cant do basic math.
Swing states decide elections. Impossible to win those with a third party. DOA
Well lets talk basic math. President Trump received north of 70 million votes in the 2020 election. Lets assume only half of those are willing to change registration to a third party. So 35 million voters in the new party.
So if ONLY HALF of his voters moved over, that would tie the existing GOP party registration. It is also reasonable to assume that many of those would would change over to the new party would come from the GOP. That would shift the GOP to fourth place according to the web site ballot access. (https://ballot-access.org/2020/10/24/nationwide-voter-registration-data-by-party/)
Somewhere down below Independent and above Libertarian.
So as long as we are talking basic math ... swing states could be won by the right third party.
Far MORE than half of GOP supporters would move over WHO other than the Lincoln Project would vote for the establishment??? After a year with the crew we have in charge NOW you can BET many Americans will jump from the establishment!! MOST of America has had ENOUGH of these bastard leeches!!!
And lose in the PRIMARY! FAIL!
Rats always vote in lock step. Here’s your best score:
RATS 50, NEW FAILED PARTY: 45, GOP 5
You will never get all GOP voters to vote for the new party in the general. GOP-E, never Trumpers, rhinos.
Blowing off one’s face to spite someone else’s nose is a FAIL!
