'Anti-Trump conservatives Tucker Carlson, MTG, Massie huddle about launching third-party movement'

https://www.politico.com/news/2026/08/05/tucker-carlson-mtg-thomas-massie-joe-kent-trump-01025860

"President Donald Trump’s most vocal opponents on the right were sowing the seeds for a future third-party political organization during a weekend get-together aimed at undercutting the Republican establishment.

The meeting at Tucker Carlson’s compound in Maine with Rep. Thomas Massie, former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and others — captured in a photo posted by Greene on Saturday — served as a launch pad for a possible independent presidential campaign focused on unwinding U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts."

I wonder if the 'third party' is a possible challenge / diversion to the many current attempts to label the dems as socialists / communists.

It needs to attract people from both parties. A middle of the road party.

IMO it needs to attract conservatives so that MAGA is defeated.

How about a fourth and fifth party?

Many people Americans and otherwise just assume the "two party system" is mandated in the constitution.

Nope.

As I've said before it's insane to consider this current president and these current times as left/center/right politics as normal/usual.

The damage the Trump regime did even if a reverse attempt is made will take at least a generation to turn around and it will never be like before.

Tucker Carslon that Nazi adjacent Putin boot licker -- yeah I could see that annoying scumbag running.

RFK Jr wants to run (or at least his brain worm does) and the republicans won't nominate him, so there's another.

Those two would be nightmares of course.

So will any republican that's nominated and for the democrats either an establishment democrat or AOC (neither are the answer).

Here's where there just might still be some hope.

A new party led by someone exceptional that has nothing to do with politics who can somehow via genius qualities absorb the grassroots will of the majority of non-fascist/non-socialist Americans and lead with a totally new kind of politics, synthesizing that energy into a wave of a MOVEMENT of positive change and repair. This needs to be much more than about one man. The situation is so dire now that the only hope for a path to improvement is a MOVEMENT.

Yes maga fascism is a movement. A movement of national self destruction.

Let's just ignore the "democratic socialist" stuff and pretend trump is more extreme than the communist takeover of your party

To the title .....

There is no "communist takeover". That's the lame gaslighting the GOP uses to divert from the catastrophically bad first half of the s**t show that is trump 2.0.

And trump is certainly more extreme than anyone in the Dem party. Extremely stupid, extremely corrupt, extremely present in the Epstein files, extremely incompetent, extremely nasty, extremely thin skinned, extremely untruthful etc, etc, etc.

This Party will end up in the dustbin with the No Labels Party.

There are only 3 things that make a 3rd or 4th party possible:

a) Secure a financial basis.

b) Secure a financial basis.

c) Secure a financial basis.

Without massive financial support, nobody get's elected in the US. Even a well meaning "wandering priest" formerly residing in Palestine a long time ago, could not win any election in the US without massive financial support.

There would be money for the right candidacy.

Yeah. Trade unions money. All other financial sources will be qualified as "suspect". Bolsheviks money and money from the "jewish conspiracy".

At least, that's what the repuclican party will use as a tool to stifle any attempt to form a 3rd party.

PS: No candidate in sight. The world longs for an incarnation of John F.Kennedy.

Well the USA is in such a bad state now comparisons to the civil war era are apt.

Then we had Lincoln.

No Lincoln in sight as yet.

Very good.

A 3rd party , even a very small one , can have a lot of voting power.

The wig party is already making a resurgence in the White House.

The Democratic party is quite broken, they continue to pander to the progressives and the extreme left, and that has to change in order for them to make inroads with the average American. Just the fact that they're still listening to Harris is a really bad sign.

The GOP is completely broken, it has surrendered itself entirely to the whims of a semi-senile, completely insane and fabulously corrupt madman, and the party must be completely reformed moving forward.

For years now I've been advocating a third party, maybe even a fourth. Break the strangle hold on the system. America is in a dramatic state of decline, and it desperately needs to be rescued by someone, somehow.

The interesting question is not really whether a third party can be created, but whether it can build enough durable organisation to survive beyond one election cycle.

Money obviously matters, but so do ballot access, candidates at state and local level, volunteers and a clear identity that is more than simply being anti-Trump or anti-Democrat. Even a relatively small third party could influence close elections, but becoming a lasting national party would require a much deeper organisation than a high-profile presidential campaign.

That "wandering priest" would likely be tazered by ICE beaten to a pulp and locked in a detention center by the "law and order" party of "christians"...and you can bet your butt that he would not have blue eyes and blonde hair as depicted in the "christian" propaganda programs for centuries.

The Democratic Party has there own internal problems. They’re imploding from within.

I said some months ago that Tucker Carlson would step into the false promises Trump has failed deliver on.

The time is ripe for a ‘Real America First Movement’.

Much more of a threat to the Republicans than to the Democrats.

Carlson, MTG and Massie share a particular foreign policy stance that will set the cat amongst the pidgeons.

Light it up!

I'm happy to see anything that can help split the Republican vote.

And if created, this may just be enough to get ALL the crazies out of the White House!
I'm glad to see MTG and Tucker Carlson help us bring America back.

It's fitting that those who helped destroy help rebuild.
