Or if someone like Yang but more socially conservative tried to capture the GOP.

Then in 2024 when neither of them win their ticket, but both do fairly well, getting lots of publicity, they join forces to run as a 3rd party. Obviously the establishment would try hard to squash them -- but tens of millions hate the establishment!

And a lot of Democrat voters who don't like the Dems, just dislike the Reps more.

Yeah, we should unite forces and vote for someone who's sole campaign promise is to dismantle the two-party system.
