The Republican base is an increasingly unsteady partnership of tech-bro, white nationalist, red-pill MAGA nuts, and salt-of-the-earth conservative types who vote R because that’s what their pappy did.

This community exists explicitly as a byproduct of leftist infighting, which was very possibly engineered by malicious parties to divide and conquer.

I say, let’s flip the script.

As the current administration becomes more unsavory, conscientious old-school blue-collar conservatives and libertarians are finding the pill harder to swallow.

Leftist policies are extremely popular, even among the “right”. It’s Leftist terminology that sours the deal. The American people have been submerged in anti-left propaganda for a century, at least.

There is a massive opportunity to fracture the right by introducing a third party that mimics right wing terminology to promote a leftist message. 'Murica is about Freedom and Jesus. We can define Freedom, and dive into the teachings of Jesus we were talking about, after the election.

Or never. Voters don’t typically peruse their representatives actual voting record. All they really care about are soundbites, and it’s not hard to hit the right notes.

Honestly I think that if we’re clever about marketing, we can peel off a significant portion of the Right’s base. Hopefully, a couple cycles can bury the alt-right shit and replace the Republican party with the Patriot Party, or whatever.

Ideally, savvy leftists will figure out the ploy, and pile in once the scale starts to tip. But it has to start with the blue-collar Right. The Republican party is enemy number 1, the Democrats have enemy-of-my-enemy status until the Patriot Party (or whatever) is established and displaces enemy number 1.

On an unrelated note, here’s a fun game:
