Frequently Asked Questions

If we don't even try, it will definitely be impossible. But as of today it is absolutely within our power, if we apply the right pressure to our elected representatives. Trump is in the weakest position of his political career.

Right now, a majority of Independents (and, we might hope, nearly a totality of Democrats) support impeaching Donald Trump. Even worse for him, it appears that around 20% of the people who voted for him in 2024 want to see him impeached. This constitutes not only a majority of the American people; it is sufficient, in every State of our Union, to put enough pressure on the House and Senate to impeach Trump again – and this time, to do the right thing and remove him from office.

In the first place, it's great that diehard Trump supporters are shouting that. To normal people, that doesn't look too good.

More importantly: it doesn't matter. That the DOJ started dumping massive amounts of Epstein documents on 12/23 suggests his desperation. What Trump wants is for us to dig through the million or so documents, with all their redactions, and try to prove that he raped children. This will take months, and is entirely beside the point. As of December 19, 2025, Donald Trump and his Department of Justice were in violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Perhaps he hasn't raped children (although, for any ordinary citizen, what we've seen would almost surely lead to prosecution) – but he certainly has flouted federal law to protect people who definitely have raped children.

If this isn't a basis to impeach and remove a president, then nothing is. And it's very far from the extent of his crimes against the United States of America.

This is actually one of the reasons we must act with resolve and speed. What is at stake goes far beyond Donald Trump as a mere person; we are fighting to restore, above all else, a presidency that is restrained by the Constitution. Should this end with Trump's death, everything he has done to subvert our laws will stand, unchallenged, as precedent for all future presidents.

No one person should have this much power and impunity. And there is no way to restore the presidency to compatibility with our republican form of government other than by impeaching Trump and removing him from the office.

In America, nobody is above the law. Donald Trump acts as if he were the law.

Frankly, the Democrats in general are awful, and have at this point largely been complicit in the degeneration of our republic. But Donald Trump is in power right now, and clearly represents the greater present danger to the liberties and indeed the lives of all Americans.

Of course Trump makes these claims; all autocrats do. The reality is that his "landslide" victory achieved almost, but not quite half of the popular vote. This is no mandate. Trump also makes the large mistake of assuming that all of his voters in 2024 constitute supporters. In the context of our era of negative politics, this is a fatal error, and we want to exploit it. Those of us who voted for Kamala Harris, to a very large extent, did so not because we supported her: we were voting against Trump. The same applies in reverse.

Trump is actively alienating the "lesser evil" voters he attracted, and indeed losing substantial parts of his core base. This can be accelerated with carefully segmented political advertising.

Ah, yes, "Trump Derangement Syndrome" – and while there exist some thousands of clever retorts, jokes, and memes with which an anti-Trump patriot might respond, I will simply point out, here, that characterizing political dissent as mental illness was, of course, a tactic used by the USSR.

We welcome the jeers of MAGA. We've long noted that perhaps the primary motivation of deep support for Trump is a desire to inflict suffering on other Americans. Indeed, this psychological need goes so deep that many MAGA people can't help but imagine we are crying, even when we're laughing at them, or taking action to remove their anti-American wannabe dictator from office.

Let them think we're crying, and tell us how much they gloat at the notion. Let them show normal Americans what they actually represent.

Not too long ago, this would have been referred to as character, and would have been understood by a decisive majority of Americans as a primary criterion for selecting a leader. Bragging about being able to sexually assault women with impunity isn't a matter of personality. It's an obvious signal of an utterly degenerate person, one unfit not only for public office, but indeed for polite society.

He's only shown us more of who he really is since then.

We represent the republic, the civic values that preserved it until this dark hour, and the American people. We have contempt for both parties, and seek to recruit members of both, as well as independents. We're not bipartisan, nor really nonpartisan: we are antipartisan. We are united only by our commitment to preserve traditional American civic values and the institutions of the republic, and our rejection of the notion that the president should be above the law. Those invested with the power of high office should be held to a higher standard; America, today, is holding them to no standard at all.

This must change, if America is to survive as a republic.

That's right. We aim to make Vance president in 2026. This is not to say we actively support him at all. But we think it obvious that, at any rate, he would be a less catastrophic president than Donald Trump, and there is, to the best of our knowledge, no evidence whatsoever that he has ever raped children, nor personally done anything to shield those who have from justice. We can't make the perfect the enemy of the good – or in the case of Vance, of the milquetoast and mediocre, which is, beyond question, preferable to what rules us now.

Not in our opinion, and not if we have anything to say about it. Some would try to paint the impeachment and removal of Donald Trump as some kind of "win" for the Democrats, but it won't be. They've failed completely in their most basic duty to represent the interests of their constituents and of the republic itself. They're not interested in really doing anything about Trump, because having him in office allows them to offer us absolutely nothing other than not being Trump. Their 2024 campaign demonstrated this conclusively. Their current fundraising efforts demonstrate this too.

Removing an open criminal and tyrant from office through Constitutional means is at this moment the greatest common interest of every American. Accomplishing this would, in our estimation, bring us together.

Of course it won't. Nobody is suggesting that. But if we don't impeach him and remove him from office, we're not going to solve any problems at all. This is a necessary but not sufficient condition for saving America. We don't intend to just quit, we love this great country. We'd like to see America return to some long-neglected civic values and social concepts, such as citizen participation, respecting our common bond as Americans which transcends differences of party or policy, the rule of law, checks and balances, a limited government of enumerated powers, and, especially, good old-fashioned American pragmatism.

This is not to say we are "bipartisan" – we reject that label. Neither are we "nonpartisan"; Purple America is antipartisan. We think that our first President's warnings should better have been heeded, among them his wise counsel to avoid faction. Had we respected this better, perhaps we would not be facing the horrifying prospect of America's last President, and first genuine dictator.

We have deep grievances with both parties, and seek to create a political terrain in which both of them are substantially weaker, and more responsive to the actual, legitimate needs and voices of their constituents.

Purple America will pursue every lawful and peaceable means by which this goal, necessary for the preservation of our republic, can be achieved. Most chiefly, we intend to apply direct, impactful, and meaningful constituent pressure to every member of the House and the Senate, but with particular care to make sure that vulnerable sitting members feel the tide changing. This is, after all, a midterm election year. And we intend to do this as a grassroots organization, relying much more on coordinated volunteer effort than massive spending. We will need money, yes – but we need the real commitment of dedicated patriots much more.

We also intend to develop an accurate and effective marketing strategy targeting every remaining political segment offering Trump any substantial support. We plan to include the hard cases, too. We can see the weight they carry; the cognitive dissonance necessary today to maintain their position is heavy indeed. We would like to offer them a chance to simply set that down, and to do the right thing. We hope and sincerely believe that many people who voted for Trump in 2024 agree with us vigorously, and we welcome them as fellow citizens.

We perceive that the best hope to heal the self-inflicted national malaise of our divisiveness and rancor – which is best instantiated in the person of Donald Trump – is to remove him from office using the tools our Constitution gives us.

Let's get it done. There are no "red states" or "blue states" – there is only the United States of America. And the United States of America is purple.

We are not endorsing any candidate of any party for the presidency or any office. We think that the impeachment and removal of Donald Trump will compel all future presidents to honor their oaths and follow the law. If not, we will have shown how Americans deal with this problem, under our Constitution.

We aren't primarily concerned with policy. We acknowledge that America is facing some very serious and real problems, which will require a government composed of actual adults who pursue practical solutions in the common interest. We'd like to see our nation meet the challenges we face, as once we did, reliably and confidently. And effectively.

If we don't impeach and remove Trump from office, however, we will never be able to even begin to address them.
