As you know, the GOP far-right has been discussing establishing a Freedom Party (or something like it) since Buchanan was denied the nomination in '92 and '96.
Repugs have since then managed to stave off a Freedom Party splinter by simply adopting its politics - i.e. neo-fascism.
But because the far-right has an insatiable appetite for extremism, it's no longer enough.

The cat fights will be fun to watch - so long as Freedumbers never actually win high office (God forbid).
