The Curse of Sanctimonious Republican
and Conservative Voters

I had trouble following the logic. "Republican and conservative voters must abandon their sanctimony, acknowledge the reality that there can only be two national political parties in the United States, and unite as a movement to rescue both the Republican Party and America." The logical answer is that the Republican Party should unite behind the OBVIOUS choice of the Republican electorate, but that won't happen as long as the reins of power in the party are held by Trump hating professional politicians and denizens of the swamp. There IS a uniparty, and the battle is not between Republicans and Democrats but between the uniparty and the people.

It appears that a sizable contingent of non-democrat voters would only be happy with a Trump Party, regardless of the obvious absurdity of building a party around a single individual. This would make the democrats ecstatic in '24. Before our Constitution was ratified, George Washington could have been made king but he deferred to the representative, constitutional government structure that has brought us over 200 years of freedom and liberty. While I've never been "all-in" on Trump, I've never hated him, nor wished to see him persecuted by the current regime and wayward members of the party under which he chose to run but I did pay attention to him in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, when he basically followed the trajectory of a democrat, his initial chosen party. The Republican Party saved Trump from two rounds of impeachment by voting against his removal. Those who didvite for his remova, share political ideology with democrats, like Susan and Pierre, the prototypical RINOs. Marginal policy disagreements with Trump within the GOP, does not make for automatic RINOs, as political disagreements and some form of negotiated resolution has served this country well, until conservatives fell asleep at the switch and allowed democrat-Marxist principles to dominate many of our public institutions, including the occupants and operatives of the current administration and too many state houses. Not everyone thinks that Trump is the only answer to our country's problems, but I know no one who would fail to vote for him if he receives the Republican nomination, as he did in 2016.

The Uniparty is real. How else to explain the habitual Republican losses on everything? Dems never lose, though. Kabuki theatre.

To my dying day, I believe that Ross Perot was paid off somehow in running as a third party candidate. So, instead of George Bush winning, we got the clintoons who instead of spending the next 8 years in the White House should have been spending some time in prison for crimes they committed while he was governor. And John McCain had no intention of winning in '08, that's why he picked Sarah Palin as his running mate thinking that would sink him in the campaign. Instead there was a rush of people declaring they would now vote for him, I was one of those people. That's why they started to undermine Palin from almost the very start. And don't get me started on Libertarians, those are the sanctimonious people the author is talking about. Every time I see someone who says they're libertarian I see them with them holding their nose in the air thinking they are better than anyone else, It's either their way or forget about it. Right?

Ever notice how it's always the sanctimonious ones who disagree with you?

Thia is an excellent artidle. We all have seen the people he's talking about. Unfortunately they will choke on the headline, get miffed, not read the article, and potentially cause the Republicans to lose another election. He explains why our two party system is important, why a third party will damage only the Conservatives, and will never win. He also explains that the Dems know this.

President Reagan spent edecades as a self-admitted "liberal Democrat" before becoming a Republican, No one brings that up every time his name is mentioned,
