Point I was also trying to make is that the card carrying members of the GQP will happily send money and vote for the Patriot Party since they are called Patriots. "Truth" was just a dig on $45, name of his social media platform and all avoidance of truth.
BTW, the domain Patriotparty.com is already taken.

Read and weep folks.
so you see, the Trumpsers are beyond redemption and its the fault of the Elite Liberals. This article actually gets worse, even invoking the Russia Hoax.

There's definitely an element of truth there. It's an item of faith in MAGAWorld that Mueller found "no collusion, no obstruction" when in fact he found both (the former by the Trump campaign, the latter by Trump himself). Our very own Whell, himself more intelligent and articulate than the average MAGAMoron, is an outspoken advocate of the hoax narrative.
Similarly, simply saying that Biden was elected "fair and square" is taboo in MAGAWorld. Election denialism is required of GOP candidates. The farthest they are allowed to go is say "Biden is President," but they dare not say he was fairly elected.

A state senator in Colorado is resigning from the Republican Party and becoming a Democrat, citing the party's complicity in the Jan. 6 insurrection and 2020 election denial as the reason.
- "I cannot continue to be a part of a political party that is okay with a violent attempt to overturn a free and fair election and continues to peddle claims that the 2020 election was stolen," Sen. Kevin Priola said in a statement.
- He also cited his party's lack of action on climate change, saying his GOP colleagues "consistently and proudly seek to impede progress ... and I can't, in good conscience, be silent about that."

You're absolutely right. The GQP cult is easy prey to fall for something along those lines.
How about the "True Patriot Party"?

A problem for the professional fringe is where can they go these days to still be fringe? The Blaze has now tried advocating for drunk driving! I am not making this up.
Quote:
Now, you might even argue, I would never do this, but one might even argue that a true exercise in American liberty -- in American self-governance -- would be to trust oneself responsibly to consume a hypothetical amount of alcohol and then hop behind the wheel of a hypothetical vehicle. And then trust oneself to be able to do that.
But unfortunately, sober-tards aren't actually capable of doing this responsibly and so we all have to have the nanny state come down into our private lives and prevent us from living as we will, because certain people can't handle the responsibility of true liberty, and true freedom.

True is taken and did not check for the "RealPatriot........" 
On second thoughts, should have looked for the FakePatriotParty.com

Rusty Bowers (R-AZ) on the GOP
“It’s a party that doesn’t have any thought. It’s all emotional, it’s all revenge. It’s all anger. That’s all it is.”

^^^Exactly true. Fueled by propaganda, people believe what they are told 'their side' believes. It's an identity reaction that totally bypasses critical thinking. But emotions as mentioned, propaganda is great at evoking those.

Here is Denver Riggleman's, former Republican Congressman from VA, response to this assertion:
I don't agree. There is plenty of "thought"; and strategy with many facets of the GOP (including extreme elements) with many planning election takeovers at local, state and federal levels. To dismiss it as simply emotional and "all revenge" is short-sighted. And perilous.
