I would love a legit third party but that's not going to happen. Maybe a single large Independent Voter Pac. Like AA for former GOP conservatives who love this country and want our freedom and elections back. Instead of giving money to GOP candidates we donate to the PAC. The PAC would fund the State and Federal candidates of our choosing, but also fund battles for conservative issues before State and Federal governing bodies. Members of the PAC would donate say $50 annually to be a member. People can donate more, but $50 annually to be a member, $100 annually to be a voting member. Voting members vote in May of an election year for our State and Federal candidates and that is who the PAC supports. No glitzy conventions or delegates paid to go to conventions. We would need a President, Independent Accounting firm to manage funds and a commission to select issues and buy commercials. Keep it simple with 90% of funds going to elections and 10% max to Staff. No offices, No parties. Staff gets money for computers, printers and everything including the Commission meetings are done over Zoom or some such entity. Problem would be keeping Trolls from paying the fee to mess up the vote. Just random thoughts maybe that would never work. Just takes my mind off the visceral angry I am feeling towards fellow Americans.
I walked away years ago, took my children and wife with me. We left the GOP because it did not represent us. If every Trump voter dropped their party affiliation, went independent it still would not wake the GOP up. But it might worry them when they do not see the money.

All excellent points and I like some of your ideas! I agree with you that if tomorrow a lot of Trump Supporters dropped their affiliation to “independent” then not many would notice or get much media attention!! But could you imagine if on Day One- 10 Million Republicans (and Democrats) dropped their party affiliations and joined “_______” new American First Party? And every day 100,000 people join and contribute like you’re proposing! This would be the Second “Shot heard around the world.” The GOP would scramble desperately to stop the bleeding. The Dems would be so arrogant that initially they’d think it’s only hurting the GOP. Then they’ll start bleeding voters as well! What a beautiful thing that would be!!
