      #GuillotineParty is going to do the same thing to the Democrats that the Tea Party did to the Republicans.

        Unite them under a common front, get absorbed and move the Overton window in the other direction?

          Take them over from the inside out, replace their wishy-washy moderates with extremists, energize the base, and start winning elections again.

          So, yes, almost exactly what you said.

            And which billionaire is going to be funding it? Because the tea party was Koch brother funded astroturf.

              Yeah. Because you have to pay people to do things they dont want to do.

              I don’t think the Guillotine Party is going to have that problem. I think people will be lining up for the opportunity.

      Why not? Every Sociopathic Oligarch is starting their own. I’m sure they’d love to enslave have you.
