These are loose, unserious thoughts
- I feel like local republicans are a dime a dozen, and if you’re in a democrat dominated area, you might get a position based on rules. In my area you can’t have a true majority, only a 2/3rds majority. So that means there are always seats that go to Republicans, even though they get like 1/2 the vote.
- Even if it only works once, you get like 2ish years to fuck with republicans all you want, undermining all their goals.
- Some positions run unopposed and just get filled.
- You can use your advanced online degree in Hogology to blend right in. All it takes is a trip to the local Carhartt store for the right garb.
- If enough of you band together, you can probably out maneuver the command structure of your local party and start running your people for local positions.
I have no idea what I’m talking about, really. Consider this the ultimate bit, the bit to end all bits. Infiltrate the party from the ground level, outnumber the local leadership, and shrink the Overton window just a smidgen. Nah, this is probably a dumb idea.
Anyway, happy Friday!
I agree actually. They’re deep in the propaganda machine. You can say all the culture war bullshit and then take a “principled” Small Government stance and vote against government intrusion into people’s lives and still come out fine. Throw a wrench into all their anti trans bullshit.
Then when they try to pass tax cuts for billionaires dive into populist rhetoric and claim you’re for the working people and the coastal elites need to pay their fair share. Corporate tax cuts? Regulatory cuts? Fuck the woke companies.
Brother that’s what I’m saying! Or just start a new party called the Real Republicans and say shit like “these Republicans have lost their values! They’re not Real Republicans like us!”
They’re not real Republicans like August Willich (actual)
We must reclaime what was appropriated from us! Take it alllll the way back. Also, one of the first Anti-Marx Republicans.
