I think there are still too many of us that still (even still!) have yet to see enough to understand what's going on here.
The Republican party is not 1/2 of 2 separate political ideologies. The 2 party system is an illusion. The Republican party currently functions as a political safety net that catches enough people that are disgusted by the current direction the US is headed to keep them within the status quo. There is only 1 party with 2 heads.
Taking over the Republican party will not work. They are far more immune to reformation from within than it would appear, and I would guess this bait is on purpose.
Going 3rd party will not work. Most of the 3rd party candidates are grifters, and the system has been rigged to encourage duopoly.
The very noble image of our political process, of our individual votes counting and of the system functioning to serve the people that toil to allow it to exist, is no more than a corpse we need to find the willingness to let go of. You will not change the course of this nation through the political process that was honed over time to be this way.
This is part of why I keep saying Conservatism is not the solution. We need a movement willing to retake lost ground instead of following controlled opposition.
The question everyone reading this needs to ask themselves: are you willing to lose everything in the attempt to make a real change, regardless of success?
If the answer is "no", then don't even bother discussing what needs to be done to fix this shit. Close down any accounts you have on free speech boards, unsubscribe from any anti-woke YouTube channels, close your eyes to all of this shit, never look back, and pray that is enough to save you.
Edit: upon rereading, I realize my message might come off like I'm telling everyone here to fuck off. You have to understand that these very discussions are being seen as a danger to the establishment's power. We scoff at the ridiculous hyperbole of the "insurrection in DC", but the establishment is telling us how they view us all now. We are all traitors to the status quo.
