The MAGA Party?

 I noticed via social media today....someone suggesting up the idea of leaving the Republican Party (because it's filled with so many fakes), and then adapting Trump values to a new party.

Observations over this idea?

Basically, you'd be losing the 2022 mid-term election.  You'd also probably be giving up the odds of winning the 2024 election.

How many Republicans would walk away and join such a party?  That's another problem.  My humble guess is that fewer than one out of four for the next four years. Maybe by 2028?  You might see 75-percent of Republican-leaning voters going this way.

Affecting a twist on the Democrats as well?  Well, why not open this up and get Democrats to trigger the same thing in their camp?  Why not let the far left stick with the Democratic brand, and let working-class Democrats have a smaller party that has fewer of the dramatics and fake branding?  

As for dismantling the Republicans?  They would be basically stuck.....unless they cooperated with the MAGA folks...there would be no future for the Republicans for the next decade.  

I'm not suggesting this is a brilliant idea, but the Republican Party is crapped out presently, and way too many 'fakes' in the middle of it.  

A 1803-2020 Discussion

 In the early morning hours of 31 August 1803....a crew of roughly forty-five men started what would be the 'Lewis and Clark Expedition'....traveling across the US, reaching the west coast, and traveling back....arriving back into civilization on 25 September 1806.  

I came to observe Covid-19 and the aspects of the expedition in a special way.  

To complete this three-year journey....the amazing thing here, with over a thousand different 'threats'....not a single person dies on this journey.  With snakes, bears and wolves as a threat?  Nothing.  With potential Indian attacks?  Nothing.  Pneumonia? Nothing.  

If you had been standing there in August of 1803 (beginning)....you would have gazed over the aspects of safety....written a serious letter of concern, and using 2020 logic....halted the aspect of performing this walk to the Pacific coast.

Every single day, if these forty-five men, if they were 2020 type individuals....they would have gotten up and discussed the fear of the day...the threat of death possibly coming up, and how to resolve the safety aspects.  Instead, those 1803 type individuals got up....had a sip of coffee, and simply went in search of adventure and the unknown.

It is a remarkable difference between the 1803 folks and the 2020 folks.  They aren't of the same breed.
