Trump starting his own political party

[susano]

It would be awesome if freedom oriented people were located in one part of the country and the commies in another but the commies are all over the place. How can you have secession of a state when there are pro freedom people and commie Satanists in that same state? Then the war will be in that state.

That's literally the scenario we have now, except it's on a national scale.

There are states that have a small minority of leftists... that there are quote-unquote conservatives who aren't as pro liberty as they need to be is a whole other question, but one that's not even an issue at the national level.

The GOP hasn't been conservative since Robert Taft.
Some things need to be destroyed.

If the liberals leave it to join Trump's new party, that might help shift the GOP to the right.

This is not for sure at all.

Don't you love when a thread title announces that somebody is doing something, and then when you read the evidence presented, all it says is that they considered it?

Here's a reasonable option everyone seems to resist:

Had to add this one:

[oyarde]

We have two parties now that control everything . One is useless ( GOP) , THE other is satanic. Just what we need , another clown party to share with the libertarians to ensure satanic rule . They wont even have to cheat or work at it anymore .

I wouldn't count on that being the effect. It's very possible that a Trump party would draw more support from people who would otherwise vote Democrat than it would from people who would otherwise vote Republican.

A lot of the things Trump did as president that Republicans liked the most were things he only did because he was playing ball with the party (i.e. tax cuts, deregulation, conservative judges, token commitment to pro-life/social conservatism, refraining from pushing the increases in entitlements/farm subsidies/ethanol mandates/single-payer-healthcare'etc., that he wanted). Without the entanglements he had with the GOP, I would expect him to enjoy his freedom to support the policies he wants to in those areas, which are in every case a lot more like Democrat polices than Republican ones. That's on top of the more Democrat-oriented aspects he never had to give up even when he was a Republican, such as his protectionism, and his Hollywood/NYC foul-mouthed sexually libertine moral decrepitude. And you can bet that once he breaks from the GOP and goes back on the offensive against it, he'll be welcomed right back into the fold of Oprah Winfrey and all the other media big-wigs whose memories don't go back any further than their last quarterly statements.

Good. I hope that is exactly what happens, too.

And if the Republicans end up going the way of the Whigs, then so much the better.

I mean, it's not like anyone who actually gives a damn about liberty would actually notice the difference ...

Third party FTW?

[Anti Globalist]

Democrats are probably hoping that the Patriot Party actually kicks off. It'll split the conservative vote even more.

[Marenco]

Yup, this.

I, frankly, don't think we're going to survive the coming Marxist revolution, considering that the left has now consolidated almost universal power in every single institution in the country: they have all three branches of government, they have the media complex, they have the military complex, they have the entertainment complex, the have the schools from pre-day care to graduate school, and they have all of the most powerful corporate organizations, including those that control every byte of data in our world and they now have the largest Christian Church in the world in their corner as well.

We have nothing, other than a failed political party of weaklings, collaborators, Quislings, backstabbers and traitors.

What $#@!ing good is Mitch McConnell or Lindsey Graham or Mittens Romney to the cause of liberty or the fight that is coming?

There may be one or two shining stars in Congress, that in normal times may have grown to become statesmen of liberty.

But they'll be crushed.

Nope...we have no one...no one is coming to save us...if we are going to survive, it will only be because of our effort and will.

Get tough or die.

Amen...

Yes and no, they are split. Some want him to totally retire, even if he avoids jail, and can run for public office. They see him as a loose cannon.
