We're moving on from the rebranding situation. We don't want to leave all three posts stickied, but feel that they are still important, so this thread will highlight them all.


Excerpt from the initial announcement

Today is a big day - after five years, The Donald has rebranded to Patriots.win.

The first reason goes without saying... we're in a period of transition with yesterday's fraudulent inauguration. It will likely be some time before Trump gets back to actively communicating with his base, but we intend to do what we can to keep our part of this movement as active as ever.

We're not turning against Trump - not at all, our branding and our rules will remain the same for the immediate future. If Trump moves forward with the rumored Patriots Party, then we're perfectly positioned to fully support him in that endeavor.

It is our duty to step up and call out the disaster that this administration will be.

This rebrand does not indicate a change in moderation policy.


Help Patriots find their lost home

Unfortunately, the old domain got redirected to Gab and then to localhost, in response to our rebranding.

The good news is that we've retained at least 75% of our traffic, but it's still incredibly important to share the site with family and friends, and on any other social media platforms that you're a part of.


AMA about the situation

We also held an AMA about the situation, to address the concerns that users initially had. It is probably easiest to go to my profile as well as u/shadowman3001's, and read our responses directly from there.


We don't expect to get the old domain back, but we're moving on past this situation as this negativity helps no one.

Of course, if the old domain does come back in any form other than the redirect to here, it's not at all managed by our team, and we would suggest not taking part in it.

Thanks for putting up with all the bullshit, time to return to MAGA.

They didn't have a choice. The domain owner left the mod team taking the old domain with him.

OK, fine. Thank you for the explanation. In this case, we should have gone with a domain that used the Trump branding. I wasn't in love with the .win part of the branding to begin with.

The important point is this: EVERYONE WANTS TO READ ABOUT PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP. It's true. On the other hand, while they may indeed be patriots, very few are going to seek out a site just to read about patriotism. It's too boring and has literally no pizzazz.

Bottomline here is that we now have a major branding problem, and we need to fix it before we lose too much momentum. We need a domain name that centers around President Donald J. Trump. Our movement is lost without him.

The domain owner has made a statement on the old domain. Worth reading.

I've read it. And am calling bullshit on the majority of his story.
