    The only party that grew over the last decade were the Independents. **** the RNC and the DNC. They are worthless. They only care about the party, not
    the Citizens.

    Call me Hitler if that's all you got! Typical of the new China American. Trump handed out jobs.....Democrats just want to buy votes with money and they will sell themselves out to China every time!

    Trump's GDP numbers will be lower than Obama's.
    Trump's GDP numbers were already lower than Carter's BEFORE Covid.
    Trump will be leaving office with higher unemployment numbers than when he entered office.
    Trump helped finance the Wuhan lab with taxes he paid in China.

    Yes. Trump's China taxes went directly to financing the Wuhan Lab. It's all over the internet. It's obvious to anyone with a brain. The spike in money
    going to the Wuhan Lab proves it.

    Great article link. It describes the new Nationalist movement beautifully.

    I will personally go back to 3rd Party Independent libertarian voting if the GOP goes back to the RINO's. However, the Nationalist platform is sound so hopefully the new movement leaders either reform the GOP, or split off to the 3rd Party which I will support.

    Some people say Trump gave the okay for the lab money in exchange for Ivanka getting trademarks and an option on a sweet piece of Hong Kong real estate soon to be confiscated by the commies. True, many many people, professionals say so and they should know.

    The White working class have always been the dupes of the GOP. Trump only proves it. The fact is, that the Democrats are the party that can provide the only check on the GOP plutocrats; only the Democrats will raise taxes, only the Democrats will crack down on offshore tax-shelters, only the Democrats will impose the new health & safety regulations that will make American-made goods competitive with foreign imports. The GOP will never, ever do any of this. Your only hope is to break with the GOP and form your own Authoritarian Nativist party.

    Trump also took us a massive step toward the day when we go to war with China - a war we are going to lose, badly.

    That's the game.

    At least China is upfront about their one party system.

    Hmm no.

    I mean, I agree with the movement toward a party concerned with the workers, since that's were most Americans sit, however the GOP has almost no elected officials that reflect that now that Trump is leaving. The elected class is still mostly establishment GOP with the same goals. They are mostly concerned about tax cuts and little else as the GOP led Congress in 2016-18 demonstrates. Right now there is a massive gap between the GOP voter and the GOP office holder and that's only going to be fixed by aggressive primarying.

    Okay, I admit I stole the play from Trumps playbook It is one of his go to tactics that seems to be quite effective in spreading bullshit upon his faithful.

    Not a problem in my state. We have open primaries. Of course, the state GOP these days have been more fond of closed caucuses with their loyalty/purity oaths for just about everything except the POTUS. It has cost them at the state level and will continue to cost them as long as they rig the nominations in favor of ultraconservative Christian candidates.

    So GOP is now pro union, in favor of raising the minimum wage, progressive tax rates, health care for all?

    I wasn’t aware of that.

    Don't know if I like the idea of godless Democrats voting to throw off Republican nominees.

    So unions are now pro working class? I have been working class all my life and have never once viewed them as that. Do you try to promote the idea that if you are working class you are dependent on a collective to do your bargaining? You most certainly do! Socialism is a crutch of the weak, and you certainly can't equate that with the American working class! The ideas you promote in your post above are Socialist to the core and completely un-American!

    You can't vote in both parties' primaries. You can vote in either party's though. They use the same registration rolls as if it is a single election so if you cast in the GOP primary, you cannot then vote in the DNC primary the same year or vise versa. My state does not have party affiliation registration so there is no way to really know what anyone's affiliation is when they vote other than to assume that if they voted in the GOP primary, they probably are a republican.

    Anyway, I personally think the ultra-religious wing of the GOP in my state is and will be increasingly out of step with mainstream religious voters politically. Most of the life-long republicans I know are increasingly moderate or libertarian when it comes to a lot of the red-herring issues. I would deem them more fiscally conservative, socially libertarian.
