Musk then endorsed a fan's suggestion that he name it the "America Party."

Then another user said that it's very important to learn from history, so the tentative name became "American History Party." The final proposal for the name came from Elon himself, who complemented the previous option by - as he often does - adding the letter X, resulting in "American History 𝕏 Party".

After much brainstorming, the Party's symbol was finally defined as a black X over a solid white circle, representing both Black and White Americans. There are also shorter lines that protrude at a 90º angle from the four tips of the X, representing how the Party takes a sharp turn away from traditional politics.

The final touch that really brought all elements together was was that, in order to represent its victory over the evils of communism, the American History 𝕏 Party's symbol was then placed over a red background. Top Democrats are eager to engage in conversations with the new party, seeking to form a broad coalition across the aisle.

This is the stupidest shit. Fucking what do right wingers have to fight about, who gets to eat the most babies?

The uni-party with two branches is entrenched within system, even the richest man in the world can't meaningfully change it. State election laws essentially guarantee you gotta be Dem or Rep with allowance for some occasional independents.

We, as communists, should pay no mind to this clown or his new circus for multiple reasons. A) Capital is the true ruler of the empire, even if the color of the makeup changes. B) This is great man theory at it's finest to think one guy can disrupt the system when it's clear that system is built to absorb such demagogues (Trump). C) While Musk and Trump's cat fight is very much real, it's all political theater. Drama for the country that loves spectacle above anything material.

Dems: "Oh, now can vote for the third party"

This is the move that is needed to go fully fascist. The Republican party has too much history and baggage and as evil as they are, they can't separate the wheeze from the fash in their leadership.

Starting a new party and putting all the money and vote manipulation techniques behind it is like an inverse night of the long knives. It purges everyone who isn't fascist immediately and attracts everyone who is.

This may very well be the outcome of the slumber party they all had for the last few months and the reason for the theatrical rift. This is a terrifying prospect.

The brightest minds on the right at work folks

Something something an inflection point something let them fight

also seemed to entertain a post that suggested reforming one of the main parties "from the inside out" instead of starting a third party

New democratic party just dropped

Not left, not right, downward (into the k hole)

So we’re doing Ross Perot again?

The "America Party"

Most brilliant mind in the world.

Edit: not even his idea for a name. One of his brain child fans. So he looked at it and was like, "yeah, that's the best that's gonna come out of my millions of followers"

As a non-american, and someone who would not face the immediate short term consequences of this probably, the prospect of breaking the american 2-party system from the right or the center (arguably) isn't any worse than letting it go on as it is.

For one because it opens broadens the possibility for a mainstream american labour party (which just by existing can already have the possibility to change the world frankly) to compete with the democrats, since there would be more competitive 3-way races where dems are in third place and easier to surpass

But mainly because the system has been incredibly stable and it structures the entirety of how mainstream political life works, because of that it can consistently deliver governing majorities in all levels of governing the country which means that it's even harder for insurgents to use government-makeup instability to present themselves as a solution.

Obviously though there isn't yet a politically relevant left that can take advantage of that instability though, and for there to be one there would probably need to be a split in the democratic party to join with a jumbling of all the left-wing sects in the country, both of which seem unlikely to happen (and maybe the later isn't actually needed aside from DSA), so the equivalent of what this musk party idea is for the right in that it splits the republicans, attracts some democrats and gathers independents around it.

Of course instability domestically can lead to something very ugly abroad but I don't know how it could be any worse than it already is, or if it were how it would not be self-defeating for america

Hmmm 🤔

Okay 🤷

A third party that is anti-tax, pro-business, pro-war, anti-woke, but the distinguishing feature of this party is that nobody can make fun of Elon.

our country needs to be rid of this cancer
