I live in a lefty state, NJ. It's actually more purple than you've been led to believe. My friend started a GOP Executive Committee in the town over. The town went from Dems running unopposed to almost half the town government being Republican. I asked him how I could do it my town in his Facebook group. I was immediately contacted by the county GOP. I created a town GOP page and have over 60 members in a week. Our first meeting is next week.
Take action! We can take over at the local level. Then we worry about state and national seats. Let's build a solid base they can't knock us off of. Good luck pedes!
If nothing else, it is good training and experience in the whole political process that may prove useful in the coming days. Plus, you might find useful and interesting characters that we can... headhunt away from establishment causes into our Patriotic causes...
