The Patriot Party is a new startup and unlike other failed startups, this will go far and someday turn into a behemoth. That’s because circumstances behind its formation is unlike anything before. There is energy. There is gigantic support. There is raw emotion- disgust with the prevailing uniparty and the desire for revenge. But most importantly its (going to be) founder is a leader like no other.
“The Patriot Party is a new startup and unlike other failed startups, this will go far and someday turn into a behemoth.”
I agree.
“That’s because circumstances behind its formation is unlike anything before.”
I disagree. The widespread disgust with the GOP is like the attitudes toward the Whig Party in the 1850s. In response to the failures of the Whigs, the Republican Party was formed in 1854. In 1856 it finished second and thus replaced the Whigs as the alternative to the Democrats. In 1860 it won, and won most of the elections until the Great Depression.
As BigEdLB said, today is like 1856, but you pointed out one big difference: Today there is a leader who can spark the change. (Lincoln didn’t have that stature. He had served one term in the House, had lost a Senate election, and wasn’t even nominated in 1860 until the third ballot. We see him as the inevitable leader only with hindsight.)
