Except everything the op said is actually happening to some extent. I’m not saying we will be Marxists tomorrow but look at what is happening with censorship and leaders. The scariest thing to me is how the left is now labeling dissenting opinions as violence. If you disagree you are the enemy. Voicing your option is violence. That is a very slippery slope.

As there's really no old school Republican conservatives left. I say let's all band together and work to destroy both of today's useless major parties and create a system that doesn't try to sell the BS that there's only two possible solutions to every problem.

What does it matter what stage it is in now? I thought conservatives pretty strongly believed that America was totally destroyed from 8 long years of Obama/Biden. President Trump tried to pick up the pieces, but leftists stopped him. Now conservatives want America to be so further destroyed that it will make Trump want to come back in 2024, along with the demand of the voters, to try again to pick up the pieces and be the hero.

Maybe some do but I’m a moderate conservative and I don’t want Trump back. I want real leadership. Unfortunately, both parties (and the world) seem to be lacking in good leaders these days.

But conservatives very strongly think they're doing the right thing by voting to keep their incumbents in office term after term. Liberals are in on it, too, with their office holders. Then gerrymandering insures the incumbents can pick the voters who will vote for them. Incumbents love to use the people when they're not taking money from their corporate masters.
