Get together like-minded people who actually have power: fellow congresspeople, state reps, governors, etc. The people we always here about off the record, griping namelessly.

Admit that Democrats being in control isn't the horror show you like to claim it is to rally your voters. Sure, you find us ideologically offensive, but even the most progressive Democratic initiatives will have us closer to the Eisenhower administration than to Venezuela or Castro's Cuba.

And then join together on a mission to torpedo the Raving Monster Loony Party. Deny it success, so that no politician looking to their future sees an advantage in sticking with it (this includes you).

Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
