They already tried Jan 6 !

Nope. Those bootlickers were on the side of the corporate/billionaire enshitifiers, trying to make the enshitification MUCH worse.

Genuine question: what is the real alternative to WP?

What's wrong with html/css/js? It can do anything you want it to do.

I would have thought this would be the most highly upvoted, because it focuses on what actually matters. Policy. Weird that the most important submission is the least upvoted.

Jake Tapper is the worst. Can't stand the guy.

His nephew is still in politics and he thinks speaking out will hurt his nephew's political career.

While it’s not inconceivable that you could see an offshoot try to replace the Republicans, I doubt it would happen.

It really depends heavily on timing. If Trumpism fades almost immediately after the election, the GOP can probably survive. If not, there is a good chance of it being replaced. All that would need to happen would be 2 critical steps. (1) A few big conservative big names announce the formation of a traditional conservative party that rejects Trumpism. (2) Over the next couple of years a wave of incumbant GOP senators and congressmen announce they are moving to the new party to break free of MAGA. That new party might still caucus with the GOP but would have a huge amount of leverage over it.

Conservatives took over the Democratic party over 30 years ago

The Democratic Party was much more conservative 30 years ago than today.

Democrats serve Wall Street and Silicon Valley first

Then how come Biden raised corporate taxes? How come every Dem voted against Trump's gigantic tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy? Following the money cuts thru all the vague claims and bullshit and provides clarity.

The less of a threat Republicans are, the less incentive establishment Democrats have to put the needs of voters ahead of their sponsors.

That is the exact opposite of how politics work. The one and only thing that will result is a big shift to the left is for Dems to win over and over and over.

The political pendulum always swings back and forth. We are way overdue for a big swing to the left.

There’s no other way for politicians who aren’t part of the two major parties to win.

That's totally fine. The short term reason for a new conservative party is to split the vote and insure the MAGA GOP cannot win. The medium/long term goal would be to replace the GOP as one of the 2 major political parties, just like when the GOP replaced the Whig Party. The way this would happen would be for a significant number of incumbant GOP senators and congressmen to announce they are moving to the new conservative party.

A second conservative party that disowns Traitorapist Trump would be a political earthquake. Conservatives would then be 100% certain that MAGA is making them lose.
