In a recent article, I stated that the U.S. lacks an influential right-wing party, and our two major parties — Democrats and Republicans — are left and center-left, respectively. That is, the perceived rightness of the GOP makes sense only relative to the Democratic party. It is refuted if one considers the actual policy carried out by Republicans for the last one hundred years.
First of all, it is necessary to clarify what we understand by the left-right political spectrum. A political spectrum is a system of qualitative comparisons of different political philosophies. There are plenty of approaches in compiling the political spectrum based on various factors, dimensions, axes, and cardinal points. Most often, political spectrograms differ significantly from each other, and it seems that each of them describes an entirely different reality.
Recent developments in the analysis of political philosophies, based on a multi-disciplinary approach utilizing set theory and mathematical logic in a framework of qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), started to remove the ambiguity in understanding a political spectrum. The study identifies three main factors that influence the political spectrum polarization: attitude to private property, degree of individual freedom, and the scale of wealth redistribution.
The political doctrine is left-wing if it assaults private property rights OR subjugates the individual to the collective OR imposes compulsory and scaled-wealth redistribution. The "OR" operand means that these factors can be employed individually or in concert and can be considered unique paths to socialism. Thus, Bolsheviks utilized all three ways to build communism, and Italian Fascists and German Nazis used coercive collectivization of consciousness and generous wealth redistribution as the main paths to socialism. In contrast, evolutionary socialists funnel the effort to implement a massive wealth redistribution along with the gradual indoctrination of the population.

Nope!! Destination: Civil War
Most elected Republicans are progressives, globalists hell bent on completing the Bush Plan for North Mexico that they have been working towards for thirty years.
New party (America First Party?). Trump should found it and leave the GOP whether he gets a second term or not, and encourage the small handful of real conservative Reps and Senators to follow. Which they will once a critical mass of voters switch their party affiliation.
We can kill off the GOP within 1-2 election cycles, just as was done to the Whigs.
You could define it in terms of where American Representatives sit in Congress but it's clear in actual practice Republicans are typically slower driver's than Democrats on the road to Socialism.
Getting someone who will actually turn around and start driving to free minds and free markets is the problem.
Third party is not going to happen or if it does will have no effect on the outcome of presidential elections. If Biden is allowed to take office the steal has worked and will be used to keep the Democrats/communists in power going forward. This not something we will come back from without civil war.
“...encourage the small handful of real conservative Reps and Senators to follow...”
Nahhh... I think ANY new political group you talk about ought to expressly exclude FORMER ‘Republican’ or GOP members. They have ALL had more than enough time and opportunities to demonstrate allegiance to us. Not one of them is reliable!
I am convinced, none of the present problems would have happened unless Liberals could absolutely count on THAT.
Republicans get into office and CANNOT resist the Liberal money trap... they begin stuffing their pockets almost instantly!!!
It make me sick to think of them
From the article
The Trump administration comes closest to the right-wing ideal (but is still too far), at least in terms of tax cuts and simplifying some business regulations. Trump is not afraid to identify Democrats as socialists, tearing off the mask of humanists and moral authorities and exposing who they indeed are. He stopped short of doing so with the GOP elites, but they pre-emptively struck. The united privileged class of Democratic-Republicans has come to the defense of their status in the society, holding elections worthy of the Third World.
Therefore, I must conclude that the path to socialism will continue until people organize under the banner of a real right-wing party and begin to fight for economic and personal freedom. There is a public demand for such a party, which will undoubtedly be realized soon, as the Tea Party was once organized. This will inevitably happen because socialism is an evolutionary dead end. History shows that countries that experimented with collectivization hit the wall and returned to the trajectory of society’s natural evolution. It’s just a shame that, having defeated world communism led by the Soviets, we overlooked evolutionary socialism at home and helped to revive yet another communist giant: China.
As the late head of the Libertarian party used to say:
“Democrats and Republicans are both taking us down the same road (to hell), the Republicans a bit slower.”
The Left controls the Courts.
The Left controls the Media.
The Left controls the voting system.
And most Republicans are supporting the Left’s theft of the election.
Starting a new Party is going to fix this?
When we allowed socialism to creep into this country with various tools (the tax system, especially the Earned Income Tax credit, means-adjusting college tuition, etc.) then it was going to be difficult to reverse those trends.
Freedom Party. America First is the wrong goal.
Freedom is the goal, and that will make America First.
No we are on the bridge its either Trump takes charge through executive action which now appears unlikely or we have civil war a short way down the road.
A lot of the Green New Deal is being forced upon us.
