I've seen plenty of posts this morning about starting a new party because people are fed up with the republicans and I completely agree with the sentiment. However...

The problem is that people who are smarter than me with more free time have tried this before. We have the Libertarian Party, the Green Party, the Constitution Party, etc; and for all their merits, their only role is to screw up an election.

To start a new party that is successful and eclipses the Republican party is to require the total decimation and collapse of that Republican party. Honestly, how likely do you think such a collapse is going to happen? I will tell you; it is not going to happen.

I know some people point to the Whig Party as an example but Whig's just became the Republican party. A one time event as the country moved from the chaos of revolution and the establishment of the republic to the leader of the free world.

So this is what I'm working on which I think is a better idea and I beg of you, please hear me out while I try to keep this short.

In my area of Washington I'm surrounded by like minded individuals that are disaffected Republicans but fans of Trump's message of patriotism and America first.

What we are walking towards is forming a group of men that will meet weekly to discuss how we are going to begin to take over the levers of government, starting at the local level.

The goal is to define the principles which will be the lens from which everything is viewed through and recruit more men and expand the group. My initial intent is to make this group an organizing means to get people elected into the local governments and fix the damned problems. Regional group of 10,000 individuals can easily generate 50,000 dollars for a single candidate; which for local elections is huge. I say this because the one campaign I worked on for a local official who was up for reelection bragged about the $2500 war-chest they had that scared off any contenders.

The mission of this group is to run candidates as republicans, get them in office, but maintain the meeting of the group weekly especially with the newly elected candidate to office. We are trying to fix our country and it starts in our own backyards. Jordan Peterson once said that before you tackle the problems of the world, you need to make sure you can clean your room first. We might want to tackle the problems of America but we can't do much until we fix our local problems.

This isn't to make money and this isn't to be reimbursed for your time. The Founding Fathers dedicated their lives, families, and good fortunes for the cause of liberty. I think asking myself and others to do as they did is asking one to literally live up to their duty as a citizen. We can whine about rights all day long, but if the state can take them away, then it is time to take the state back by more than just casting a single vote.

My intent is to basically take over the republican party and we are prime to do it. We have a forum from which we can communicate internationally with TDW. We are, all of us, pissed off that they dare over play their hand. We are disaffected that republicans and democrats are a uniparty. It is time to stop playing their game.

They want us to vote or not-vote, but mainly they want us to shut the fuck up. They do not want us meeting, which is why the make all these different rules that set the bar to disenfranchise and demoralize us. I'm not interested in playing by established norms nor am I interested in playing by their rules.
