I'm mixed on the accelerationist argument. I was against it for ages, but I've come around on it in a big way, although still hesitant.
Asmon is completely correct, that the Republicans don't deserve support. Yes, they're less bad than the Dems, absolutely. But I'm to the point where that's not good enough. Republicans are still a net negative to my nation and, if we're going to keep going without a bloody revolution, one of the two parties needs to be completely destroyed and rebuilt. The Republican party has more pro-America sentiment, so is a more likely vehicle for Americanism. So they have to be whipped into shape, and only the people who actually love this country can be supported. No more lesser of two evils bullshit, that's how we got here.
It's a dangerous proposition, but I'm tired of the status quo. I'm tired of the slow spiral. I get that people hate or are scared of Asmon's/Feuntes' argument, and I completely disagree with supporting the Dems (I say vote third party if you can't stomach voting for RINOs), but something needs to change. I don't care that the Republicans are better; they're not capable of saving America, in their current form...so what's the point?

The Republican party has been a wishy-washy coalition for a long time, probably since before Eisenhower, but definitely since his fence-sitting ass was at 1600 Pennsylvania. Bastard knew what was happening behind the scenes, did nothing, and sniped at people with vague, snarky commentary.
Reforming the Republican party is going to be like remodeling a antebellum mansion that hasn't seen a lot of skilled tradesmen in... ever. It would be easier, cheaper, and more honoring to the old building to tear it down, salvage what we can, and build something new. I'm down for building a Jeffersonian Party.
Sure. Point is, blindly supporting Red Team or Blue Team won't get us anyway. Destroy and rebuild a party, or destroy a party and have a new one take its place. But sticking with what we've got isn't working. So we're in agreement there.
