    Things I am seeing lead me to believe the Republican Party is split, but not in the traditional sense. The split is between Trump voters/supporters (a significant majority of republicans) and the actual elected politicians, most of which are in the uniparty. Never seen a more divided situation in politics where the elected class couldn't care less what their constituents think and want done.

    The Republican Party knows the people are not happy but believe they can get this reined in for the midterms. But some also reveal that they understand the people are really in control and are desperate to do something.


    Why? Trump is gone, isn't he? Oh yes, but the ideas he nurtured are still growing, and all of the uniparty fears that. That is why they are impeaching him yet again, but really are just making him a greater martyr than he already is.


    They really believe this will go back to business as usual and they can continue to profit sell out our country.

    If this is true, the Senate vote will be closer than people think.

    The lines of division have changes.. no longer republican and democrat... it is now constitutionalists and globalist. Where Republicans confuse people is there are a portion that are globalist, they just prefer to see America as the model for the globalist government (which is delusional) then to top it off there are rinos , nothing more than globalist marxist that carry the republican seal of approval for the purpose of deceit. There is only one peaceful way to defeat them.. what to they need? They need money and resources. So we all move to states that are conservative, setup our own self sufficient supply chains for food , water, oil etc, convert to a crypto currency that we pay not of to the feds and starve them out. They cannot survive without our money and labor. This IS the only way.

    How can the GOP be united when most individuals who claim the title republican, conservative, or libertarian don't really know what they believe?

    Remember when the GOP had party planks that they really tried to stand on?

    That's out the window with the new populism grounded in nothing but capriciousness.

    If the new position of the GOP is to just be "anti-AOC" that's not really a unified party platform.

    First, I have to ask, has anyone actually looked at or read any part of either party's platform?

    I have, and at least nominally the Republican party platform presents some degree of respect for and commitment to the Constitution of the United States.

    The Democratic platform however is mind-blowingly anti-American. It is quite literally a TDS document wrapped around collectivist and redistributionist concepts which when stripped of the woke wording boils down to socialist / communist ideals.



    Reading the Democratic national Party platform document nearly made my head explode. I was absolutely dumbstruck by both the lack of presented solutions, a pathway to address the many wants and demands, and thoroughly astounded that a national party platform was essentially written against an individual. Again, written against an individual, not to forcefully present an actual objective. And I'll be honest I only made it through a couple of pages of nearly a hundred, and then skimmed a couple more and just couldn't take it anymore.

    Fundamentally, relative to our elected representatives, The real issue is if they are Republican are they following the party platform and addressing their constituents desires; or are they working for themselves. Unfortunately it is readily apparent that all too many elected representatives at the federal level are working for themselves first to get elected, and then to get re-elected and enrich themselves. The article in the tablet, the 30 tyrants, is quite illuminating and clearly implicates the members of the uni party in their treason toward the United States.


    As tangofoxtrot stated The battle is now globalist versus constitutionalist. I have been saying for some time that what this country needs is a constitutionalist party. It may well be over the next four years if the mainstream media cannot crush it, that a third party will arise to capture the constitutionalist. I believe a significant portion of what has traditionally been the GOP base would quickly migrate to a constitutionalist party. There are also going to be some number of communist party of the United States members who will also migrate to a constitutionalist party. And I hope that some of what have traditionally been non-political non-aligned citizens would see a constitutionalist party as something worth voting for and promoting.

    The danger is that the communist party and their backers in the mainstream media and social media may have such a lock on our public discourse and a portion of the population that nothing can stop the slide.

    A significant number of senators and representatives aligned to constitutionalist principles as they were originally defined might well be able to reverse our course away from a Venezuelan future.

    If the second impeachment fails, as it should, I do wonder what President Trump and his supporters next move will be. A constitutionalist party, with a simple and clear platform focused on the rights of the people, states rights, recision of laws which exceed the scope of the Constitution as written could be a powerful inducement for many after this election.

    I have read Trump intends on starting his own party. I still firmly believe to give it any teeth , before that party goes public, a well oiled machine of commerce , trade and finance need to be established so we can cut off the feds.

    Any republican looking to form a 3rd party should read a history book and see how it played out for the bull moose party.

    I would prefer NeverTrump and the RINOs just go form the Chamber O'Congress party and start their 40 years in the desert a little sooner

    Based on some reports they may have too, but there is still a battle to be fought with the globalists, like McConnell, before that happens...

    I personally am ready for a constitutionalist party.
    Would the Constitutionalist party caucus be voting to impeach Trump, or would the Constitution itself have to reworked to ensure Constitutional crimes only apply to those not in said new party.

    In my opinion anyone violating the constitution should be impeached tar and feathered and kicked out of leadership. Kiss a standing army good by, all the alphabet agencies gone and anything that is violating the constitution is destroyed. I'm sure many here would cry for years because of certain socialist programs are destroyed along with the alphabet agencies that enforce unconstitutional law.
