Its time for a new political party in the USA

This will be a short read, since the evidence for this is more than obvious and long exposed.

The expulsion of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the GOP House Majority is just another signal that there is a huge divide between factions in the GOP. Republicans in the Far Right camp (of which there are 26 openly acknowledged Freedom Caucus members) succeeded in deposing their craven and self-serving leader, and it didn’t even take the 26 to do it. Only 8 showed their true colors including the apostate Matt Gaetz who posted the motion, springing the trap we knew was going to come when it was announced McCarthy agreed to allow a single Rep to table the motion to remove when he won his chair. That mighty drink of hemlock must be tasting terribly bitter now, not just for Kev but for all the moderates who knew this day was coming.

So you have 218 members of the House who count themselves as Republicans. 26 are Freedom Caucus members, including some of the most shamefully crass, subpar individuals to deface a political party in so many ways. What is the solution to a Party Divided, especially when those in the 26 are actively calling for a American Civil War?

There’s one solution that I am sure if someone with enough national respect proposes would actually happen, and it would be for the best national interest.

Split the party.

You cant turf out the deplorable 26 since the rot extends deep into GOP roots. The Chair of the RNC, Ronna McDaniel, is herself Q-indoctrinated and MAGAized. Any suggestion to excommunicate the crazies would mean that you’d be cauterizing the roots of the party itself, and that wont happen.

No, those 192 who count themselves in the moderate (or as I would call them the traditional conservatives, preferrably not Christian Populists) should take the moderates in the Senate (and surprisingly, there are a few) and form a new party maybe called the Social Republican Party, or something appropriate. Get out of the sphere of influence of the Q-folks, the barely camoflaged Klan folks, those aligned under foreign influence or blackmailed to behave… and I think there would be a big surprise in that you’ll not only take some 70% of those who are declared Republican, but you’ll also get a significant share of declared Democrats who are tired of the extremists in their own party, and those Republicans who defected to get rid of that pustule filled boil named Trump.

I’m not a fan of Republicans myself, I actually consider myself a social conservative — I know that a large percentage of the costs of social programs aren’t actually in the programs themselves, but in covering the defaults in those people who don’t have health insurance, or can’t pay for their educations prior to their deaths. I also see how the USA is “dumbing down” because we don’t support educating our citizens — and to try to maintain our standing as a global leader in technology we need to import our talent from abroad, which causes the undereducated to flip out because of course their jobs are being “stolen”.

To those who now will accuse me of being a socialist, here is my retort:

• (from consumerfinance.gov) The total amount of medical debt in collections is not definitively established; recent estimates range from $81 billion to $140 billion. Although aggregate and individual-level estimates of the balance of medical debt in collections vary across sources, trends (such as the ratio of medical to non-medical collection) are generally similar.
• We have all heard in the last few years the $$ balance of student loans affecting a huge number of people in this country. IIRC it’s around $1.4T??? And a significant number of them will never be paid off as predatory lenders will scale up the interest and late fee charges in such as way as to make it impossible.

I’m not going to continue down to try to justify my position — that’s a future assignment for me, and believe me it’s easy to do it.

But, traditional conservatives who want to keep jobs in this country understand that we need a strong education system to develop home grown talent. And we need to keep our people healthy to ensure they are intellectually and capitally productive for as long as possible in order to be able to recoup the investment through the income tax they will pay to the country from their earnings.

Duh!!!

The more educated, the higher the wage, the higher the tax bill. The healthier they are, the longer they pay taxes.

People who are tired of the present day faulty logic of trickle down economics, the cutting taxes on the wealthy who are job creators (bullshit, and I repeat bullshit) will have seen how companies have used the cuts to simply buy back stock and not create anything. They send their manufacturing overseas and then keep the profits in foreign banks, not reinvest in our economy.

I think those moderates of both parties will see the value in forming a third centrist party that understands the value of social democracy balanced with fiscal conservatism. Make those who get rich pay back a fair share to the society that enriched them, and build back better in a way that not only grows the consumer economy stronger (thereby enriching them with future profits) but also keeps our sensitive technological knowledge in country, and not benefitting our ideological opponents who are looking to break down democracy and reintroduce a modern feudalism for the future.

I will reiterate — moderates unite! Form a third political party in the USA, prepare and present real valid domestic and foreign policy to the discourse, and truly rebuild a country from the foundation on up. It just needs to be presented in such as way as to communicate the benefits for us as individuals and as a country, and I believe there will be a large majority of the electorate who will buy in and support it.

And it will royally piss off Putin, Xi and Jong Un to no end. That by itself for some would be reason enough to do this.
