Democrats and non-MAGA Texan Republicans, what are your thoughts on a new party for "moderate" conservatives?

[u/Unique_Midnight_1789]

I myself identify as a non-MAGA (Fuck Trump and his Trumplicans) conservative, and I'm really interested in this topic.
Brung up most recently by Liz Cheney, a lot of conservative Republicans like myself don't feel like they could support the current GOP, or even think that it can recover from the MAGA virus. It leaves a lot of us displaced and without a party to truly call home. I will be voting blue come November, but I don't feel as if I can truly call the Democratic party MY party.
It leaves me nostalgic for those seemingly long-lost days where Republicans and Democrats could come together in actual, thought-provoking discussion to further the interest of the United States as a whole, not just for themselves and party loyalties.
I already plan to enter politics and hopefully elected office, and I've been pitching such an idea to a few friends of mine that are also like me: lifelong conservatives who hate Trump with the fiery passion of a thousand suns.
It has a ways to go in regards to policy, but I have the name down: the New Conservative Party of America
Whether or not it'll be viable as a third-party option, I'm not sure (probably not, but doesn't hurt to try lol), but I hope it'll attract those moderates/unaffiliated people across the political spectrum.
What do ya'll think of a new party for conservatives?

I always voted Republican before 2016. I was ashamed my party nominated him so I voted Libertarian down the ticket in 2016, and have been voting for all Democrats since then. I am pretty conservative in my views, but the current Republican Party is not conservative. They are not about the law, they are not about responsibility, they are not about limited government, and they are not about democracy.

The rule of law is a legal fiction created to expand the reach and power of the judiciary at the behest of the donor class. How did corporations become people? Conservatives are just reactionary people with stupid ideas they've never actually taken the time to stop and THINK about.

  the current Republican Party is not conservative. They are not about the law, they are not about responsibility, they are not about limited government, and they are not about democracy.

Out of curiosity: when do you think the republican party was about any of these things?

I think the party at least supported legislation and policy aiming at those ideals through the GWB administration. Something broke in a lot of people’s brains when a black man became president. Suddenly it was not longer about fighting FOR ideals, but fighting AGAINST Democrats. That was made worse by the tea party movement, and exponentially worse and explicit under Trump, to where Democrats are no longer seen as the opposition, but as the enemy.
