Wrongo ace. The Patriot Party would be huge and the GOPe would be the splinter rump state party.

If the Patriot Party (MAGA) is formed and is on the ballot will you vote for them or stick with the GOP?

I would vote for the Patriot Party, much as I voted for every GOP candidate way back when. Don’t agree with them on everything, but agree with them more than I do with the alternatives. But I’d expect the Patriot Party to lose, and lose badly, while dragging the GOP down with it.

The Patriot Party would likely go down in flames, much as the Bull Moose Party did. Because it’s a party with no financial base. Maybe after the Democrats enact a wealth tax, and take income tax rates to 75%. When forced to choose between full nationalization of their wealth and the Patriot Party, I’d expect each and every moneybags to choose the Patriot Party.

With supermajorities in Congress, though, would it be such a big deal for the Dems to simply outlaw the party as a terrorist group and use RICO against its supporters? How’d you like to have your assets seized because you stood up for the party?

What if the MAGA candidate in his local congressional district were a known child molester, and the GOP candidate were an upstanding civic leader with nary a whiff is scandal? Everything is conditional. How do you expect him or her to answer that?
