The conservative movement is compromising to achieve power and ends up implementing watered-down liberal politics. When those fail, it is not possible to assign responcibility because both parties endorsed them and "cooperated" in implementing them or distorted their "proper" implementation and blame each other.
What the conservatives should do is stand firmly on principles and lose all elections - presidency, House, Senate for a dozen years. Any conservative who gets elected would push for uncompromising conservatve values and be in such minorityas to not matter at all in the resulting political outcome. I am not even proposing to throw elections - just not compromise and lose it honestly while documenting predictions and debates.
Let democrats have their 12 years. All the while a carefull study and educational campaign could be led by conservatives to track the real progress of unfettered liberal socialist policies.
Who knows, they may well work out if not interfered with, they almost worked in Sovier Union, Cuba and North Korea, right?
If they fail miserably, the population can see what's going on and who was responcible and chose based on real data.
Republicans can always concentare on the state level in that dozen years.
How much damage can democrats do that could not be recovered from in that dozen years? Let in 50 million mexican and african immigrants and give them citizenship? They would need to settle in some states and when people get pissed off by unemployment and crime, they would know who to blame.
Enforce their liberal interpretation of the Second Amendment? Fine, people can organise in State militia in order to keep their guns and training.
Tax everybody to ruin? So what, it's only money that can be made back once the country is returned to sane mode.
Let those democrats have 12 years to prove that they can educate diversity to the same standard as europeans and reduce the powerty and that legalising drugs would remove the problem (republican states can still outlaw drugs and abortions, we would than have a good comparison). I am actually for legalizing drugs and abortions, but I am willing to give a try to both options.
I mean, some people now living in america have lived under socialiss regimes and know what it is, but most have no idea and their love for freedom etc. is inherited second-hand from previous generations, not something they came up with. Why not give those people a chance to see who they really are and develop appreciation for american way of life?
Republican party can use "exile" years to work on their ideology and scientific foundation without distraction of politics. It would probably lose a lot of scumbags only interested in power - and good riddance.
Of course it's a pipe dream. Americans are too frightened of defeat to hold tight to any principles. A pity. Defeat in a worthy struggle is a great teacher and valuable experience to live through. Better for character than surrender on "honorable" terms which is going on right now.
