I just wanted to make this topic about major political parties in the USA, and a third one being made. What do you all think about a possible third major political party in the U.S.? Should it happen? What good do you all think could come out of it?
For me, I think it would be a great thing. I was initially against it because of the possibility to make more conflict between the existing parties and the new parties, but given how the Republican party has been lately, and that not every republican is supportive of the one called Donald J. Trump, I think the country could benefit from this instead of Democrats vs Republican Trumpers. I think any negotiations between parties would be easier than between the Democratic party and the Republican party we have now. Plus, it is said that many people are independent in terms of siding with a political party nowadays. Plus, there are countries that have multiple political parties instead of two or even three.
I do understand it may be hard to create a party, but the current Republican party has been rather reactionary nowadays. In fact, I would say that the Republican party of the USA has become more of a cult for Trump now. I say it would be hard because the Republicans that are Trump's supporters would strongly be against that, but I don't think they should get the final say in this, no matter how hard they try to get it.
By the way, for those who do not know, the term "reactionary" means being conservative to the point of returning to an earlier state instead of staying the same or moving forward; in this case, returning countries like the USA to an earlier social or political state. I feel plenty of the members of the current Republican party, especially those who support Trump, are being this, and more so not the Republicans from before. I'd even say that Republicans are supporting and doing things not for the U.S. country, but for things like selfish gains. I personally do not think they are as patriotic for this country as they may have used to be. They probably do not care about the people or country, and while I may be extreme when I say this; I'd say such Republicans are just as traitorous as Trump is allegedly with the January 6 event. Maybe not in the same way, but I can see the motivations they may have have being so.
