Can we create our own political party, without these rich freaks.
How do we start our own party?
Considering that national elections don't matter anymore, we don't need to formally create one. We just need to win at a local level. We don't need Democrats anymore, as there's nothing they can offer us. They can and will go to the right to save their own asses from Trump, so we need to let them go.
We need to tap into disillusioned young Trump voters and reradicalize them. The liberals will need to side with Trump by not protecting us, or help us and not lose their base. We need to give them no choice, or they'll keep holding us back. We need to make them do unpopular things, or actually grow a spine. Most won't because they're cowards, but if we make the argument from the perspective of liberal ideology AND the perspective of every leftist ideology, we can get a few on our side. From there, we just need to remain strong until Trump dies of old age.
Key to our success is to not focus on infrastructure like pipelines or roads. We need to go after the luxuries the rich use, making them scared and hostile towards the working class. We need to max out the class divide, so no matter what happens to us, the working class will hate them. Much like how bombing terrorists with collateral damage only fuels their support, we need to make them hurt themselves in their efforts to stop us. We need to exploit the same mistake the American military always makes in foreign lands. They'll need to give the working class concessions, or not have a state anymore.
We need to take over the responsibilities that the state and economy has given up on. Crime will explode without us doing a damn thing, and we need an answer to that, but not through violence.
We need to support addiction recovery and mental health services, regardless of if we control them or not. We need to offer medical care and help people get treatment for physical ailments as well. We need to do a lot of charity work without trying to exploit it or force our ideologies down throats. Helping people directly will become very important for everyone, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it provides an answer outside of the corrupt state. We need to be the answer that the Democrats aren't.
