RE: I want to start the SEA party.
There is a movement already to that effect. Change the ‘S’ to ‘T’ and it exists.
“Abe Lincoln won the same way”
Abe won with the new Republican party. The Whigs were just too far gone to save.
Why keep or attempt to keep the republicans as our representatives if they don’t represent us?
The democrats don’t represent us either of course.
But if the republicans getting destroyed moves us closer to having a party that actually represents us, I’m in.
If continuing to support republicans has as its cost that no part represents me, i’m not going to continue to support the republicans.
The “price” of this rebellion would be a democrat government for a period. I’m not convinced the cost of a republican government would be much better.
I’m all in. Let the republicans lose their asses.
“thus guaranteeing Democrat election dominance?”
the democrats have already guaranteed dominance with ballot fraud and the GOP is complicit.
No. Splitting the conservative vote would ensure democratic majorities in government.
YES!!
If Trump doesn’t form a new party, many conservatives will stay home next election. He can gives these Americans something to go out and vote FOR-instead of the “lesser of two evils”. Aren’t we sick of that?? A new party is the ONLY way our vote counts. Without a new party, Mitch McConnell stays in control, Liz Cheney stays in control, Karl Rove stays influential.
We need to start acting and thinking, outside the box.
Trump is sending a shot across the bow of the GOP prior to the impending impeachment trial. Still standing by my prediction that Biden will ask the Senate not to forward with the impeachment trial in the interests of unity.
IMO this is kabuki theater meant to burnish Biden’s image and to avoid a trial that could be devastating to both Reps and Dems.
Ask the Federalists or the Whigs....
No. Unless you want to waste time and money.
They already call us nazis, terrorists, etc, and plan to use the full force of the federal government to hunt us down, make us unemployable, and find any reason they can to lock us up. It won’t matter to them whether you are still registered as an (R) or as something else.
Quite right. But this time it seems likely a Trump-initiated group would have a dramatic numbers impact on the R party.
Everyone knows what the Democrat platform is. They’ve been very successful in advancing their agenda.
What is the Republican party platform? How successful have they been in advancing their agenda?
“It’s a recipe for failure.”
It’s also a recipe for failure to continue voting for a party that is controlled by enemy collaborators.
Tell that to the Federalists and Whigs.......
I vote “yes” for a new party.The Republican (a branch of the Uni-Party) brand is now tarnished beyond any redemption. The Patriot Party will start off with 70 million VOTERS. The Republican/Democrat Party can openly merge, and the Republican brand can go the way of the Whigs.
There’s already an “America First Party”, has been since the time of Charles Lindbergh...
Tea Party didn’t have a leader to galvanize around.
You and the author are correct. I would note that I believe the Republican establishment exists to give the illusion of choice and to make sure someone conservative is not elected.
Hmm, maybe we can take to the waves.... hoist the black flag mateys!
