The idea of starting a new political party is in the air.
It’s actually been in the air for some time. I know I’ve been thinking about it for awhile. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve been thinking it too.
The Democrat-Republican scheme is long obsolete. You have the Democrats mutating into the Communist Party. While there are so many turncoats in the Republican Party that it is getting impossible to tell them apart.
The real divide anymore is between the Globalists and the Anti-Globalists. Not just in America, but globally. The Globalists would do away with nations altogether; and divide ‘their’ world into “regions”. They have divided the United States into 10 regions. The 50 states be dammed. (I think that took place in the Clinton years–not sure;; but it happened.) That was a Constitutional no-no. But what do they care?
Then Trump came along and put an end to that nonsense. The 10 regions vanished. He revived American exceptionalism. And encouraged other nations to do the same. Just as every nation IS exceptional….or used to be, anyway. That’s the movement he started. Not just here but everywhere. The globalists’ plan, that seemed to be going so smoothly, was demolished. That’s why they are so fricken scared of him. They’ll do anything to get him out of their way; including rig an election and install an idiot like Joe Biden into the White House. China Joe.
“American Patriots Party” has been suggested. I quite like it, actually. Dinesh D’Souza was on FOX, the other day, criticizing the idea of starting a “patriots” party. It would divide the Republican party, and we can’t be having that now, can we? While I respect Dinesh D’Souz considerably, I have to disagree with him on this one, The Republicans are already in tatters. They wouldn’t have a platform if Trump had not given them one. Half of them are ‘globalists’; or on the ‘globalists’ payroll. I think D’Souza underestimates the patriot movement. Get the ball rolling and it could gather momentum really fast.
So, that’s the obvious divide: Patriots vs. Globalists. Pick a party. ‘Regions’ or ‘Nations and States’? Sustainable Development or Free enterprise? The Earth Charter or The Constitution? The choice is clear-cut. All those Democrats and Republicans who don’t pick “Patriots” are automatically lumped together in the Globalist pile. We will know who they are. Sound good?
If so, “Lets get this Party Started.” Here and now. Why wait? Bill Whittle wants everyone to run for office–get into the thick of it. So why not run under a new party, with a clear and solid platform; so that everyone knows who We are, and what we stand for.
All those in favor say “aye”
All those opposed….

I think the mindset must be on par with the Marxists. Any talk of a new party must be with the understanding that we are in for a 20-30 year haul to accomplish anything of substance. We also have to come to a point where the party revolves around principle and not personality. We must not have politicians, but statesmen citizens. I am thinking this through more and more with my brother who is center-left (I am solid right), and it is very encouraging to go back in forth in agreement on new ideas. Will keep you posted.
Awesome Phresno. We will try to keep this conversation going. A lot of good minds here. I’m glad to see you and your brother finding mutual ground.
As much as I agree with you that the Republican Party has too many wishy washy representatives, I believe it would be much more efficacious to remake the existing Party (like the Left did with the Dems) instead of building something new from the ground up.
The time and money that would be required to start a new Party from scratch would be almost unattainable…a Sisyphean task. Most of us who have made contributions to the existing Party can claim some equity in it, we just need to apply the leverage.
There has been talk of forming a new “rightist” (just to match “leftist”) party ever since I first became aware of politics. That was 1968. Every effort since along those lines has failed.
This time might be different but I doubt it. If the entire Republican party were to do like the Whigs did (as Bill described) and disband to form a new party focused on fixing elections as their single-issue focus, they might bring enough with them to make the new party work. Absent something that radical, I just don’t see it happening, at least near-term.
On the other hand, if a new party were to start small, say, taking over state legislatures and addressing elections to start with, over time such a party could build into a force at the national level. Yes, I’m talking about MB2A. But a new party might not be the best way to go for us. That’s going to take some working out.
Great points and I totally agree about the globalist aspect and all that Trump did to thwart it. And I agree the Republican Party as it stands is wishy washy at best. But wouldn’t another Conservative party do just what the independents do to the Democratic Party? Just split the vote and make it easier for the Dems to win?
Yes Rob. Good point. That is the risk. But let’s consider the origins of the Republican Party…which started from scratch:
“Republican Party. Founded in 1854 as a coalition opposing the extension of slavery into Western territories, the Republican Party fought to protect the rights of African Americans after the Civil War.” [copied from the web]
It achieved its primary goal. Then what? It becomes the the wishy washy party we see today. If it could unite around a single principal or goal like in its origins, (eg Make America Great Again) then great. But we don’t see that happening, and I don’t think we ever will. It has become a party divided and coqured by the Demacrats who are unted around Maexest principals and an obsession to control the population. (Please see the conversation with Michael Piz on this thread.}
But still, you’re right. A new party would have to attract both Republicand Demacrats who oppose the globalist movement. And that’s a tall order.
It took the left decades to achieve the dominance they now have. We can’t expect our goals to become reality right away.
too true
