With the way America’s election system works, a third party is always bad news for the most similar party. If 15% of voting republicans and 10% of voting democrats switch to this new party, that converts a 50 50 race to a 40 35 25 race, with democrats winning.
The way it could be bad for non-MAGA people would be if enough sane republicans, if there are any left, decide to vote in the third party’s primaries, leaving the insane republicans voting in the original republican party’s primaries, causing the republican candidates to become even more extreme, leading to some elections where the choices are right, far right, and extreme right.
I mean they can split the vote just like the Reform Party did.
Yeah, these guys would probably be better off pairing up with something like the Constitution Party (or some other fringe winger party that’s been kicking around for a while) and take that over, but with the egos we are dealing with, I don’t think it’s likely.
It would actually be very good news because it would split the right-wing vote. But I doubt it will actually happen.
Split the Republican party into its two halves. The evil half and the idiot half.
They’re the same picture.
It would probably split the centrist dem vote too, fml
It might get the same people that might fall for the Green Party, honestly.

Yup. He can be the new Reform Party.
More like Restore party. Tucker, MTG, Fuentes are all white supremacists. They’re nazis.
