Oh, nothing you said hurts. You're just identifying yourself as a non thinker.

Well that is complete and utter horseshite. Enjoy your swamp.

You never offer solutions to the uniparty problem.

I've offered solutions on this board ad nauseam. Remember, I've posted here for 14 years.

Are these solutions too complicated and too long to repost?

I can't tell you how many times I've repeated the same thing on this board.

Yes, and they take real action on the part of the citizens, which isn't going to happen in a society that is far too dumbed-down, lazy and narcissistic as ours. So there's really no point in going through it with every post.

Right, so you do recognize reality, but you still advocate splitting the republican party so the socialist democrats can take over.

If you know your "solutions" can and will never happen in reality, then what is your actual agenda?

Am I wrong for suspecting that it may be simply to split the republican party, so the socialist democrats can take over?

Yes. You obviously have me confused with someone ignorant enough to continue to play the juvenile establishment game of left vs. right.

The only truth here is that the only thing third party solutions provide is hot air, at best. At worst, they provide the destruction of the country via socialist democrat control ala Venezuela.

Whatever floats your boat, as long as you realize that the reality of your position means that whatever incredibly miniscule influence your philosophy creates only furthers the agenda of socialist democrats.

The GOP needs to go extinct and be replaced by a real conservative party, not people that talk a lot and don't move the needle at all right. The Dems are already infighting between more moderate liberals and the socialists/communists.

Please explain to me how recognizing that the establishment controls both parties furthers the agenda of socialist democrats.

The establishment that controls both parties needs to go extinct. Until that happens it doesn't matter if there's 2 or 102 parties.

Couldn't agree more. But the reality is, we have to work with what we have to work with. Good is not the enemy of perfect. We conservatives can all go hard line and abandon an admittedly shitty GOP, but to what end?

How many federal elections are we willing to sacrifice? How bad will it have to get before a voting majority of conservatives can elect the people needed to save the country? Will there be a country left to save by that time?

No, there won't be. That's what Landmass doesn't understand.
The current members of the GOP congress used to be conservatives when they first sought office. Then the tendency is to move center once in DC. The culture has an effect on their brains.

If we abolish the GOP and replace it with the 'New Conservative GOP' what makes anyone think they will not succumb to the same brainwashing.

It's a disease that happens to all career politicians. That's why we like Trump. He's not a career politician. I guarantee you that if Trump went straight from college to state rep of NY, then state senate, then US House, then US Senate he would be just like Chuck Schuemer.

The GOP doesn't need to be abolished. The career people in the GOP need to be replaced by younger conservatives. And those younger conservatives need to be replaced 20 years down the road.

Yes, keep doing the same thing over and over and over again and expect a different result. That's always a good plan.

Term limits. Honestly, I thought Trump would be talking that by now. I guess it's a bit of putting the cart before the horse. If he can't do anything about the corrupt bureaucracy (swamp) term limits will only make the swamp a legion of unelected and unaccountable rulers.

That's your straw man, hammer that SOB!

Advocating third party solutions to the detriment of the only party that possibly stands in the way of socialist democrat destruction? Yeah, that furthers their agenda.

I'm not aware of your "solutions", but judging by your posts, I have to assume they don't include the only real opposition to the socialist democrats, which is the republican party. Reality.
