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!

    There have been a lot of solid critiques here of your unserious thought (which is a nice daydream as much as it is a terrible idea in reality) but I just have to add that “a dime a dozen” implies an abundance of something, which is why they’re so cheap. Which is the opposite of what you were trying to say
