There is no republican party... They think they still exist... We are now the Patriot Party and they can all just Fuck Off.

Agreed, and I think we need to finish Trump's job of taking over the party. Local and state GOP are BASED and we would only be doing the commies a favor if we split the movement.

Pedes everywhere, start showing up at all the local district GOP meetings. Run for committeeman/woman. Very easy in. I did it unopposed in a metro area. State govt is also very accessible.

How many times are we going to try to take over the GOP before our kids are hating us in Chinese?

How many times has it been tried? What Trump did in the party was revolutionary. It's not like we've been trying it over and over for decades. The establishment reigned and most conservative voters were completely asleep before he showed up. There has been enormous progress made in the last 5 years.

And we are still woefully uninformed on the local/state/party politics! We have barely tapped into our potential for influence there. No one can tell me we have completely exhausted our options. We're just pissed at Mitch McConnell. So I think the calls to start a new party are premature and too focused on the DC traitors, when there are millions upon millions of based Republicans and GOP leaders across the country.

As far as failed plans/speaking Chinese... there's a reason no 3rd party has ever taken off. We are simply more likely to fail trying that vs. reforming the national GOP leadership, and I like winning. What I'm saying isn't about loyalty to any particular entity, just pure strategy concerns and a desire to see the MAGA movement grow, not be sidelined while helping Democrats win forever. Trump considered all this before he ran in 2015. He wasn't a traditional Republican, but he knew it was the surest way to have a chance at winning. And it worked. We shouldn't be too quick to abandon what he built.
