    You can’t make this shit up. Literally refounding the Know Nothings.

    The American Party, known as the Native American Party before 1855[a] and colloquially referred to as the Know Nothings, or the Know Nothing Party, was an Old Stock nativist political movement in the United States in the 1850s. Members of the movement were required to say “I know nothing” whenever they were asked about its specifics by outsiders, providing the group with its colloquial name.[

      I can’t picture that happening, but I do think it would be really funny watching Elon melt down struggling to comprehend how his results were inexplicably exactly as bad as was suggested by all the staffers he fired for telling him that.

      The more realistic outcome is that this is a groundbreaking and truly innovative new political party powered by superdogecoin which will revolutionize oh whoops we can’t campaign anymore all the money we raised just disappeared when the price dropped jeez completely unforeseeable but very sad for the future of America.

    idk man the celebrity cult stuff seems really effective in current American politics, I don’t think it’s necessarily a Bloomberg or Perot situation

    It will definitely split the right though so that’s good

    It’s exactly like the crashout Bloomberg 2020 campaign where lmayo Bloomberg paid $1 billion to pretend he had friends for a summer and ratfuck the opposition to uphold capital interests. Bloomberg is still paying out lawsuits to unpaid staff.

      Calling it now. The 2028 candidates:

      American Party: Peter Thiel
      Republican Party: JD Vance
      Democratic Party: David Duke
      Progressive Party: AOC

      (The Democrats will want to go with a political centrist who can appeal to can appeal to conservatives and has a track record appealing to members of both parties. That’s why they nominate Duke.)

      It arguably helped Bill clinch the win over Bush sr. He was considered a sure win to the point that SNL had a skit about being the Dem unfortunate enough to go against him.

          From Wikipedia:

          The America Party is the founding and ruling party of the Commonwealth of American Workers’ Republics, a position it has held since the Second American Revolution of 2032. Though created by Elon Musk in 2025, the party was taken over by the Left Faction, and was reorganized as a vanguard party.

            Elon in exile on Mars: “The America Party is now nothing but a removed Billionaires Party! It claims to represent the jetski dealerships and the franchisees, tech moguls and oligarchs, but really, it serves the filthy proletariat. Every week I see further evidence of wealth trickling down, enriching the parasitic ruling classes - baristas, journalists and the like - subsidizing useless eaters, in other words! They will never achieve global capitalism and must be opposed by any means necessary!”
