Why? The nation runs in 2 year electoral spurts. What you are describing is nothing more than a waste of time.

Supposedly a functioning conservative party would give you a consistent vision guided by conservative principles

Do you not recognize that this has decimated their ranks?
Significantly.

They are legit fuct, and it happened much faster than they thought.

So what's your suggestion, Burger?

There needs to be a consolidation and organization effort in real conservative/America First ideology. We simply can't share a party or a movement with the likes of Romney, Cheney, and McConnell. It's a pointless effort, and you are going to be forever swimming with dead weight with these types chained to you. Nothing changes until the right cuts the excess fat off, gets leaner, and more focused.

2nd. People need to move closer to like minded communities. Red areas need to get red again. Kick all the Marxist out of power at school boards, city council, HOA, and local media

Third, once power has been secured at the community level, it would be time to simply start practicing "The doctrine of lesser magistrate" and federalism. And do it unflinchingly. Simply don't submit to the Marxists/globalists under any circumstance. If every red county in the country acted this way, they wouldn't have the resources or will to do anything about it.

Fourth. If they tried to enforce unlawful actions against communities, resist harder. Make them get to the point they have to get violent. And then continue to resist. Become ungovernable.

The good news is that a lot of the stuff you're talking about is getting more and more play in conservative circles.

The problem is that a lot of things we'd like to advocate for - say, family centric social policy - will be manipulated against us on a nationwide level. So in lieu of that we're stuck holding to libertarian positions (don't do anything!) for self-preservation in most instances. Exceptions in some places, like Florida, where DeSantis appears to share some of what we're talking about and is putting it into action.

I consider myself conservative, but I admit the message of “let’s keep things the same” is an uninspiring message.

Even less exciting is “let’s just kinda be speed bumps.”

We’ll put. The problem is the manipulation of this principle.

I want Mayberry. I’d love to go back to Mayberry. But Mayberry also has segregation, sexism, and homophobia, etc. to a lot of the US.

I don’t want any of those things to come back but a call back to safe neighborhoods and family centric values translates to racism and wanting a stepford/Handmaid wife according to the modern left.

I agree. Although it'll be much easier to do what we're talking about if we can get people focused on small communities first, and then talk about the policy (vs. talking about policy that will only work in small communities first and then trying to explain that).

I’ve spent the last week at Pine Cove (Christian family camp) and had a lot of really great conversations with like minded fathers. One just moved to Tyler TX from Los Angeles. He actually brought a group of friends with him that packed up and moved to a neighborhood together. His wife was from CA and he kept trying to get her to move out. She gave up the day that Newsome won his recall. Listed their house the next day.

His friends came with him for the same idea. Smith County is overwhelmingly conservative but he’s wanting to keep it that way even more by moving like minded people there.

The idea of conservative Christian communities banding together to take over local school boards and city councils is gaining steam.

Obviously, faith is more important to me than political ideology, but one side is easily aligned to Christianity right now. I wish that wasn’t so, but it’s the hand we’ve been dealt currently.

Yep. My wife grew up doing Pine Cove.

I think a lot of things are happening at the right moment to make some of these things seem more plausible to pretty average folks - COVID changing how we think about work, open ideological war on kids (and boys in particular), Benedict Option and similar books getting a lot of chatter in recent years, etc.

You're hearing more and more Christian conservatives who want to leave the hamster wheel of establishment and even Trumpian politics for something different entirely. Vermuele and the post libs are calling it common good conservatism, and I heard the Chesterton Society name it "localism" (an adaptation of distributism). I'm not sure I'm fully aligned with any of that in toto - but at least people are keying in on it as a cohesive thing and trying to name it.
