those Patriot party extremists would need to cut off the lines of communication, cutting fiber optic cables and destroying server depots .

the Patriot restorationists are going to be labeled "terrorists" anyway, may as well give them a dose of the terror we have been putting up with over the last 4 years

"75 million Patriots with guns. We only have a few politicians standing up for us.

Lindsey Graham and empty ammo shelves at the sporting goods store wont go very far

The commies would be getting serious firepower shipped in by the globalist cabal before our box of 20 rds of target load even runs out [/cynic sarc]

Good. Former Prime Minister Berlusconi in Italy never gave up, and is still a powerful kingmaker of the right. DJT will do even better, because the Rats always overreach and will be exposed as fascistic frauds.

The Republican party was a third party.

"Third parties never do well. I see no reason why a Patriot Party would be an exception, although it might work for a presidential candidate. Perot did okay and probably would have done better if he wasn’t such a flake."

Not true...majority political parties have disappeared several times in the history of the country. This is such a time frame. If he starts it, I'll sign up (and I've been a registered independent since registering to vote fifty years ago). Trump is no flake.

"Most US cities have major seaports where they can import all the food and arms they need."

Some few do. Most do not. Look at a map.

Fake news, I reckon.

I thought Trump’s speech called for unity and purpose not just within the MAGA movement but across all American citizens regardless of their tribal political leanings. He explicitly called out his background as outside of established politics.

If he is forming a new party I’d put money on it striving to avoid definition of itself as a tribal political outfit - so, not Conservative, not Liberal, not Democrat, and not Republican.

For that reason I don’t think Patriot Party fits the bill. Patriotism is demonstrated by stepping up, not by expressing a political opinion. It is perfectly possible according to Trump for anybody of any political persuasion to be a patriot, and he doesn’t expect the whole country to convert to Trumpism before they can be called patriots.

This is the opposite of what tribal MAGA conservatives will want to hear. They want Trumpism to be the benchmark of patriotism.

If it is true Trump is forming a new party, the indications are that he wants it to refocus government on serving the people, the Constitution, the Republic and its founding principles.

National Constitutionalism is a bit wordy, but that’s the proposition.

That is precisely why "Patriot Party" is the best choice.

I like the idea.

Marketing it is important. Patriotism, constitutionalism, freedom and liberty are the mission statement.

Perhaps a noble symbol as well. Unlike the jackass for democrats, or the slow motion elephant for repubs, the Patriot party should adopt the lion. A real “don’t F#@k with me” symbol to the world.
