I don't have time to watch at the moment, who does he consider to be a model conservative?
I'm also skeptical of the idea that OP shifts into populism, even the immigration hawks like Kris Kobach are mostly fiscally conservative still.
Saagar wants the GOP to become like the Conservative Party in the UK.
Reality Check
Keepin' it 100
I expect a big fight in both parties.
Democrat one is coming by 2024. Wouldn't shock me if by the end of this decade, there are 4 major parties (Trumpanzee Republicans, Classic Republicans, Moderate Dems, AOC/Bernie Bro Party) and it goes to a popular vote instead of Electoral College

Interesting, I thought the movement conservatives of the US considered the tories to be weak

I doubt it. The 2 party system always finds a way to prevent that.
Man, I just looked up The Conservative Party on Wikipedia. Things that stand out:
1. The full name of the party is "The Conservative and Unionist Party"
2. The party's political postion is listed as Center-Right.
3. Boris Johnson is listed as the leader of the party.
WTF??!! Boris Johnson has always been portrayed on this forum & the american MSM as Far-Right. Now I'm finding out y'all lied about him like y'all lied about Steve Bannon.

A lot of people confuse being an a$$hole with being far right.
To my knowledge, the far right doesn't like Johnson as he is pretty accepting of legal immigration.
I'm not nearly that confident that Trump won't win again.
But regardless I don't see a big split in the GOP. They're just going to look for Trump's successor and fall in line.
Dems. Ehh...will probably infight and manage to lose some more elections but I also don't see much changing long-term.

Cernovich is painting the GOP into a binary of globalist Bush types and far right populists, but I think it's more complicated than that.
He wants the GOP to turn into the latter (very nationalistic and socially conservative but economically very left wing) which is why he pushes these ideas so much.
Would be nice, but isn't it already hard to get running outside of the dual-party system?
Rethugs always fall in line... wont be any sort of split.

Yep. Also, the Republicans that racist twitter has been endorsing in the primaries have been losing (Kobach, Sessions, probably Laura Loomer, etc.)

Yep 20-30 years later when this disgusting period is written about in the history books they’re gonna act like they had nothing to do with Trump. They’re going to talk about how horrible it was like they weren’t doing everything in their power to keep him in office and turning a blind eye everytime he did something corrupt.
