I figure this is a good place for this story, I really like this idea, a "Patriot" party, further splitting the right between them, the republican loonies and the establishment republicans who are after the big corporate bucks. Yep, gather all the hardcore Trumpers into one place and if Donald's legal troubles drive him into the political wilderness, he might form his own party and they they will follow him. Right now he has about 80% of the GOP, but criminal convictions, trials and investigations could change that over time. Assaulting the domestic disinformation system with lawsuits, investigations, new laws and regulations should help with that change in public attitude too. So with Donald ya never know, right now the GOP is his plaything and he's is getting into deeper legal shit by the day and should be indicted by someone, at least by the end of March, if not sooner.
This is a "Happy story" about racist traitors committing political suicide!
Maybe they will form a Qanon party too!
You will always have these people, but perhaps not in such large numbers in the future, it is best they are kept divided and in the political wilderness, they cannot be trusted with power and proved it.

Inside a 'Patriot Party' rally where Trump loyalists search for a path forward
(CNN)The "Patriot Party" is somewhere between a meme and a movement of Trump loyalists.
The idea and, perhaps just as important, the logo, have been circulating on social media since last summer. But after the Capitol riot and swearing-in of President Joe Biden, Patriot Party groups have formed and multiplied, mostly on Telegram, where they share memes, disinformation and commentary in chaotic channels in all 50 states.
Before it was removed from Facebook, one Patriot Party group had more than 12,000 members.
One post that was removed read: "We need to organize our militia ... Wars are won with guns.. an when they silence your commander in chief you are in a war."
On February 6, one Patriot Party group held its first organized public rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which was billed as an "awareness march." Only about 30 people showed up, not much happened and it was over in a couple of hours. But at its conclusion, when CNN returned to the parking lot, some attendees had changed their clothes. At least eight were wearing Proud Boys hoodies. They were shouting that their cars had been vandalized. They would not explain the wardrobe change and were angry at the question.
The energy and anger that fueled the Trump movement and the January 6 Capitol riot are still out there, swirling around, and it's not clear yet who's going to seize them and to what ends. At the moment, it appears the Patriot Party is becoming one vessel for that energy. But even those within it are not sure who their comrades are.
