You can't start a MAGA/third party. You have to vote Republican or the demoncraps win, or something...
For much less effort and funding than would be needed to actually create a new party, you could create a MAGA "shadow organization" to recruit and run people in primaries, and to take control of local party organizations.
If you can't accomplish that, then you would not accomplish a third party.
IMO, the current political systems is incapable of reforming itself, no matter how many elections are won or lost.
Republican politicians who should be the force that says no more only pay lip service and are content to win elections every now and then when things get really bad that people decided to give them one more chance only to be disappointed again.
That’s why this entire argument among many on the right about Trump is ridiculous, Trump alone can’t really do anything, especially given he will have only 4 years at most to do anything.
If Trump were President, what are the odds he would have a fully supportive Congress and Senate to help him fully implement his agenda, I would say the chances are near zero.
Trump will be able to do something about the border and foreign policy, but those changes will be temporary until the next Democrat becomes POTUS.
Just like when Biden became POTUS, in the first couple of days thru executive orders, he pretty much reversed the entire Trump agenda.
You would need Trump to win, have a Congress and Senate that would fully enact his agenda, followed up by 2-3 more Republican MAGA Presidents who also had a Congress and Senate to help them.
The way I see this playing out is, those who are conservative, or middle of the road Democrats will continue to leave Blue States and move to Red States, Red States over time will gain more political power thru Congressional Reapportionment, they will continue to grow and prosper economically because the businesses that will move there.
Blue States will continue to devolve into 3rd world lawless Sh*tholes, once the Democrats realize what’s happening then the real fun begins.
Will there be a 2nd Civil War, maybe but doubtful IMO, maybe a few cross-border skirmishes but not full-on warfare like the first Civil War.
In the meantime, I think the USA will suffer some type of catastrophic defeat or event that shocks the nation, something that makes 9/11 look like childs play.
World War III, a loss of a major war in Europe, a loss of a major war in the Pacific, some event that will unfortunately cost the lives of a huge number of people. Hopefully it won’t be as bad as Germany and Japan in late 1945, but that could happen.
The Democrats a lawless because Repblicans are ball-less.
