I do not accept your fear tactic, you have a right to present it, but I reject it.
So I offer what our family thinks to counter.
The Republican Future Starts Now

I am not very good at building a great long speech here because so many do so a lot better than me so I will dive into this as a partial set of considerations regarding the Republican party and its future.
The family has come up with a figure and after reading many posts I think it is a good baseline to start with but first a few words on the tear jerking poor Republican party snow job help us OP.
The republican party is DOA and that is being kind as a description. So what are we to do about it going forward? We have read a lot of interesting ideas but they all seem to revolve around two main bodies of presentation.
Keep the party and try and influence it to do what we need and follow the will of the Voters, or we start a new Party. The Patriot Party has a lot of people thinking it is a very descriptive name. We think if covers every American, of any political persuasion. You are either Patriotic or you are not and it is a very clear definition. No fluff or changeable ideology hidden in its name, just Patriotic.
After the demise of the Whigs it took one year only to dump them and have a new party (guess which one) up and running and winning seats in the next election, One year. So those who think it is impossible I point to history. So what would happen if we became a third Party.?
OMG the number of posts I have read and honestly had a good laugh at some and almost cried at others. Lets see, we will not fall into an abyss if we start a third party, really, we are missing the very clever hidden secret with the Rep Party and demo-tyrant folks and it is very well hidden in everything we have read or listened too.
We,us,YOU have a ready made third party, yes you heard it right here, so now to the numbers and things I am not really good at, but I shall give it a go. The republicans think they have a base, NO, not any more, and if we look at all the figures everyone seems to have that differ I am going to use 70 Million PEOPLE of a combined voting block that voted for our President and not the totalitarians.
How do we fund a new party, that is pretty simple, if each of those people donated $10 to the new party that would be a bank of 700 million dollars and We may not all have silver linings in our spandex gym shorts (DH just coughed a lot then and frowned) but I can bet that the way the totalitarians are busy busting up our Country the average donations overall would be in the order of about $100 per person. That’s a lot of zeros so to trim it lets call it 7 billion US Dollars. How much of a kick start do you think that would give a Political machine, it is not chicken feed.
Eldest just made a good point and so he went and looked how much does it cost for a Senate Seat?
Well to answer that I found a site that has those figures and also has some interesting comments below it. Then it struck me, why would we be focused on EVERY seat?
Why not run for the House and Senate seats that we had stolen or need to replace a RINO, those we won we will win again, so the costs associated with running in the 2022 and 2024 elections will Not be as massive as one may think. My family is now Independent, and will join the new Party, because we know it will give its best, and in a months time you can bet that a WHOLE lot more dems etc will want in on the new party as they wake up and find theirs is really the destroyer of their lives.
I thought this would be a short note, sorry.

Bless you all
However, I think you're looking at National elections alone, without taking into consideration state and local politics as well.
The Republicans gained seats in the House in 2020. The Republicans lost the Senate only because of crap going on in Georgia, and no help from people like Lin Woods who said 'don't vote in their rigged election.' Republicans stayed home for the runoffs, the Democrats did not gain votes.
Republicans hold a majority of Governorships. Republicans hold a majority of state houses.
The Republican party is split between the McCain-Bush Neocons, and the Trump Patriots. What we need to do is to marginalize the Neocons, and get more Trump Patriots into the party machine. That will take time.
Again, I point to the Democratic party, that was transformed from the party that got us into the Vietnam war into the party that loathes the military. They did it beginning with the Chicago riots during the 1968 Chicago National Convention, and ended up with the Clinton-Obama-Alinskyites taking over throughout the 1970s. They put their people in at the bottom, and they worked their way to the top. The old guard of the Clintons, Pelosis, and Schumeres are dying off, and they are being replaced by the up and coming AOCs and Omars.
We need to do the same with the Republican party. Push out the McCains and Bushes, and put in more Patriots.
The system has been crafted over the years to ensure that what happened to the Whigs will never happen again. The numbers just won't work anymore.
