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.

As a marketing professional, it seems to me that changing our "branding" at the time that we did was LITERALLY the worst possible thing we could have done. We were experiencing huge growth so we change the name of our "product", which only serves to confuse people and make us harder to find.

Secondly, we had the very best branding, which is the name of President Donald J. Trump. He is the reason that we are all here to begin with. Sure, I agree that we need a "patriot" party since neither party that we have seems to include many patriots. HOWEVER, our best shot of getting there is WITH President Donald J. Trump leading us and showing us the way. In fact, President Trump is likely the ONLY way that we are going to get there.

In summary, and with all due respect to the mod's (please know that because of TLDR explanations for this BAD DECISION), WTF WERE YOU THINKING?

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