IF we no longer work within the system to change it, then the DEM and the GOP party would have to be dissolved completely and the DNC and RNC dissolved as well. You cannot replace the existing GOP party without dissolving it and displacing its members; including the voting population.
Oh really? Explain 1854 then.
So ... new parties emerging are going to change things? IMHO as long as the 'ideals and values' of those parties are still entrenched in the voting populace, they will vote for similar candidates/parties regardless if they have new players and a new name.
True. A corrupted and debased population that wants Socialism and Statism will vote for whomever gives them that.
But that does not mean I have to stay in their corrupted parties and vote along with the herd. The herd is welcome to run itself off the cliff like the lemmings they are. I'll go my own way - advocating as many leave the herd as possible.
Also, you would still have the liberal school system and other liberal entities in tact that have brainwashed our youth. You still have the globalists like Soros and the Clintons who would see the demise of the GOP waiting in the wings jumping with glee at a golden opportunity to fulfill their agenda.
Principles are not corruptible. Only those who decide they are no longer needed, or trade them for expediency. If the public wants Global Socialism, it shall have it. Voting within a corrupted institution that guarantees and supports that outcome, even if it is a bit slower than the other over Communist/Marxist party is not an institution a Conservative should be party to.
Then there's that pesky U.S. Constitution...would that still be the supreme law of the land?
It's not now. We have a totally lawless government and system ruling us, to the applause of the majority. Why would supporting the lawless somehow be in our interests in furthering the rule of law?
Basically dismantling the two party system is dismantling how we as a country vote as that system as evolved over the course of time.
Again, explain 1854 then.
I'm trying to understand some of the logic here. Wiping out the entire existing GOP would dismiss everyone in government from the President on down to the GOP governors and those seated in the GOP state seats. They would all need to be replaced with the new members willing to form a new party ... the DEM party would still be in tact and the opportunity for them to expand would be enormous.
Read some history and learn what happened to the Whig part and why. The OP in the link discusses it.
You are assuming that the majority of the current GOP voting base want to see the GOP dissolved.
No. I am not. I fully recognize the vast majority of the population want big government statism. The only difference between the GOP and the Democrats is by how much.
I refuse to be party to any.
I want to see the GOP go back to it's original principles.
Not gonna happen. Trying to make that happen is an exercise in futility and insanity.
I question what happens as a result of that implosion; it doesn't necessarily mean that the new party will be any better.
A corrupted and debased people who want big government and can care less about liberty out of want or ignorance, are not going to serve or support Constitutional Conservatism. Period.
