History of the Conservative–Republican Party

Main article: Conservative–Republican Party
The Conservative–Republican Party is one of the two major political parties in the United States political system, the party was founded in 2012 as a political alliance between the Conservative Party and the Republican Party. The alliance was joined by various other right-wing political parties, and the various parties in the alliance would officially merge into a single party in 2057.

The Conservative–Republican Party is a right-wing political party that believes in limited government, and favor state-level autonomy.

## 1980s to 1990s

Beginning in the 1980s, the Conservative Party and the Republican Party began to work together at the local level to prevent Democratic candidates from being able to win elected office. The original idea for a formal pact or political alliance was thought of by Emmanuel McHale, who was a prominent right–wing figure at the time, and the founder of the McHale family.Small–scale efforts at the county level were made in Florida starting with the 1979 elections, where Conservative candidates or Republican candidates would stand down in order to prevent splitting the right–wing vote. This tactic would prove to be successful, as the two parties were able to gain a supermajority in both the Florida Senate and in the Florida legislature. The tactic was then copied by both parties at the state and federal level starting with the 1980 elections. Conservative and Republican activist organizations began to pool resources, and share information with each other in order to better their odds at beating Democrats.

The 1980 election saw a Red wave, as the two parties would win majorities in both chambers of Congress for the first time since 1954. The two parties would also share a single candidate for the 1980 presidential election, and shared a single manifesto for the first time. Tensions would begin to surface in the mid-80s as policy disputes began to emerge. This would cause a temporary chasm between the two formerly allied parties. Conservatives began to run anti–Republican ads, and the party began a shift to the right in order to try and make the Republicans look less conservative in comparison. All of this culminated in a massive defeat in the 1982 House of Representatives elections, which saw Democrats hold 241 seats compared to Republicans holding only 110 seats, and Conservatives holding just 84 seats.

In the 1990s the alliance would go dormant, during which time the Conservative and Republican parties, during which time the two parties would compete against each other at all levels of government. The Conservative Party aligned itself with the America First Party, as well as with the Constitution Party, while the Republicans allied themselves with the more moderate Liberal and Alliance parties. During the 1990s, Raul Elizondo became a rising star in conservative circles, his ideology, which came to be known as Elizondoism began to emerge as an alternative to the classical neoliberal politics of both parties up to that point. Elizondo also appealed to the evangelical conservative demographic, which would later become a vital voting block for the united Conservative–Republican Party. The Elizondoist faction came as a direct reaction to the Villarreal family and their more moderate ideology, with the Elizondo family taking the mantle of the arch-conservatives following the decline in influence of the McHale family.

## 2000s: The Rise of the Elizondo family

Raul Elizondo became a key figure in both the Conservative and Republican parties in the 2000s, as he was considered the flagbearer for the conservative ideology. Many at the time saw him as a potential unity candidate that could lead the two divided parties into a single unified right–wing party. The dominance of the Villarreal family though continued as members of the newly emerging Elizondo faction were considered a threat by more moderate and centrist party leaders, and so Elizondoists candidates were often either prevented from running or were primaried. Unfortunately for the Villarreal faction and the Longian faction, the Elizondoist faction had broad support from the public, and candidates were beginning to pose a serious threat with grassroots campaigns.

In the 2000 presidential election, the two sides would temporarily put aside their differences in order to back Trent Villarreal for President. This temporary alliance paid off as Villarreal was able to easily defeat Democratic challenger Daniel Sterling in the general election. Once again, Conservatives and Republicans began to campaign together in key races leading to key victories in swing states such as Florida and Virginia. The two parties would win a narrow majority in both the House and in the Senate, and were able to control all three branches for the first time ever.

This unofficial electoral alliance would continue into the 2002 midterm elections, where the block were able to avoid a blue wave, and strengthened their majority in the House and Senate. The two parties would also appoint Franklin Peterson to the Supreme Court, following the death of Republican Supreme Court Justice Carl Washington. The Elizondoist faction would be temporarily set back by this new found success, as moderate candidates would consistently defeat Elizondoist ones in primary elections throughout the 2000s and early 2010s. The two parties would be joined in by the Liberal Party in the 2004 presidential election, thus ensuring Trent Villarreal re-election. The electoral block lost some ground in the 2006 midterm elections, losing their majority in the Senate, while holding an extremely narrow 218 seat majority in the House of Representatives.

During this period of time, the conservative block had just enough votes to be able to successfully pass legislation such as the Economic Freedom and Work Opportunities Act, and the Defense of Marriage Act. The block also considered repealing Roe v. Wade, however the leadership of both parties quickly backed down from this after facing extreme backlash from the public. In 2007 the conservative–controlled Congress passed the Congressional Authorization Act, which allowed for snap elections to be called if 2/3rds of members of both the House and Senate voted against the government.

In 2008, the Presidency was held by the electoral alliance, as moderate David Song was able to defeat Democratic Senator Richard Hodges. Song won with just 278 electoral college votes, making it the most narrow electoral college victory in U.S. presidential election history. The block were also able to control the Senate with a 56 seat majority, however they were unable to re–take the House, despite coming close. Moderate candidates performed worse than in past years, marking the beginning of a populist wave in the United States. In Congress, the conservative controlled House passed the Trans–Pacific Partnership act.

## 2010–2018: Electoral alliance

The formal alliance between the Conservative Party and the Republican Party began in 2010. The first compact between the two parties was agreed upon by the two parties in December of 2010, however discussions between the two parties had been occurring regularly since the Conservative Party was first able to disrupt the Republican Party in the 1976 Presidential election and the Moral Revolution in the 1978 Midterm elections. The initial agreement between the two parties was primarily to avoid fielding candidates in the sameTra electoral races in order to prevent a split vote on the right. The agreement was drawn up by former President Trent Villarreal, who hoped that the new alliance would foster unity amongst Conservatives and thus prevent parties such as the Democratic party from being able to gain control. Initially, the plans for cooperation between the two parties was rejected any idea of cooperation due to a history of competition between the two parties in various elections across the U.S. since the 1970s, as well as major ideological differences between the two parties. The two parties had been reluctant partners in Congress due to their shared Conservative values and their distain for the Democrats.

In the 2010 midterms, there were 10 Congressional seats which were held by either the Conservatives or by the Republicans that ended up in split votes and a Democrat being able to claim victory. One of the seats included was held by Senate Majority Leader Evan O'Connor of Texas, resulting in the Republicans losing their majority in the House and Senate in the 2010 elections. After this shocking loss in the midterms, the Chair of the Republican National Committee and the Chair of the National Conservative Committee met on the same day in order to discuss further strategy for the 2012 elections. Out of these negotiations, Emmanuel McHale announced on January 1st, 2011 that the two parties would be cooperating in the appointment of future judicial appointments. Then only two week later, a full comprehensive agreement was created and was passed by the two respective committees establishing an informal electoral alliance. In addition, the Assembly for the National Unity of the Moral Majority was created in April of 2011, in order to facilitate discussion between the two parties.

By 2011, the agreement was officially adopted by all chapters of both parties. And in May of 2011, a shared policy platform was created ahead of the upcoming 2012 elections, known as the 2012 Manifesto for American Prosperity and Opportunity. During this period, the ideology of the alliance was firmly in the centre-right on the political spectrum. The two parties, while differing on a handful of issues and with the Conservative Party being slightly to the right of the Republicans, still had a large amount of commonality in its beliefs. The early years of the alliance also saw the departures of many more hard-right figures from the party as the leadership of the party and of the alliance attempted to change the view of the Conservative Party away from that of a far-right party. This was also done in part because of the Republicans trying to moderate their allies views in order to uphold the reputation of the party as one of moderation. Notable departures from the Conservative Party included Butch Davidson, a far-right conspiracy theorist and anti-vaxxer, who was kicked from the party in August of 2012. Angelina Watkins, a right-wing YouTube star, was also kicked from the party in August of that year following accusations of racism and antisemitism. However, not everyone was on board with the drastic shift to the center in the Conservative Party. Maya Delphine was one such person, she would continue to fight for her beliefs and spent a year from 2013 until 2014 trying to maintain the populist positions of the Conservative Party. By September of 2014, Delphine had given up and left the party in a public statement on her YouTube channel. She would then start a new political party called the American Freedom Party, which was named after the far-right political party started by former Maryland Governor and football coach Emmanuel McHale Sr.

2012 was the first election in which the two parties were officially cooperating as a single alliance. Unfortunately for the alliance, the two parties continued to lose ground in the House of Representatives and the Senate. The alliance originally held 55 seats in the Senate, however their majority was reduced to 51, and their 236 seat majority in the House of Representatives was reduced to only 224 seats, just four seats shy of losing their majority in the House. This major loss in the election was made less severe due to the re-election of David Song to his second term as President. The alliance would also gain ground in local government winning in the 2012 Colorado gubernatorial election. The alliance would also gain majorities in both chambers of the Virginia legislature, the Arizona legislature, the Michigan legislature, and the New Hampshire legislature. The election also saw the alliance win a seat in the state legislature of Hawaii for the first time. In 2014, the alliance parties would continue to gain ground of a fractured left-wing electorate. The rise of the Labour Party saw many of the left-wing vote being split between them and the Democratic party. This allowed for the alliance parties to maintain their majority in the House, and re-gain ground in the Senate. The two alliance parties together held 46 seats, while the Democrats and Labour held 36 and 14 seats respectively, with 2 seats held by the Justice Party. A coalition government was quickly formed by the two left-wing parties, leaving the alliance in the minority once again though. Alliance candidate David Maher won in the California gubernatorial election, which was the first time that a member of a conservative held the Governorship of California since 1976. The alliance also were able to grow their majority in the Florida legislature. Overall, the election was a success for the alliance parties, however they were not able to gain seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The 2014 midterms saw the alliance lose their majority in the Senate for the first time in the alliance's history. The alliance parties would be entering minority government for the first time since 2004. However, they were able to grow their sizeable lead in the House of Representatives. CON–REP candidate Malcolm Glanville was able to win a second term as Governor of Texas. Peter Sevilla won in the New Mexico gubernatorial election, unseating incumbent Patricia Hernandez. Conservative Jeff Warren won in the Massachusetts's gubernatorial election, defeating Democrat Shane Steele. The alliance also were able to win safe Conservative races such as the gubernatorial races in Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, and South Carolina

The next election in 2016 was a major defeat for the alliance parties. The alliance held combined primaries for the first time, which included a total of 28 candidates. These included from the Conservative Party: Senator from Utah Sarah Maslow, former South Carolina state senator Raphael Edison, former Deputy Secretary of Education under Trent Villarreal, Tina Everson, Governor of Arizona Mitchell Gladwell, and right-wing evangelical Senator Adam Joesph from Missouri. Notable Republican candidates included: former Secretary of Defense Jason Pierre Turner, former Mayor of Washington D.C. Brian Goldson, Representative for West Virginia's 28th Congressional District Kendrick Osborne, anti-vaxxer Ashley Silverman, former U.S. Ambassador to NATO Ronald Wexler, and eventual Republican candidate, former Secretary of State under Trent Villarreal Michael Iversoft. Per the agreement ratified by the two cooperating parties, the Vice Presidential candidate must be a member of the Conservative Party. Thus, Mitchell Gladwell was selected as the Vice Presidential candidate for the Conservative-Republican ticket. However, the Iverson-Gladwell ticket was defeated in the general election to Democrats Eric Juarez and Justin Houston. Thus marking the first loss in the Presidential election in the history of the alliance, and the first time a Democrat had won the Presidency since Adam Kensington in 1996. Though the alliance were able to secure victories in multiple state legislative and gubernatorial elections.

## 2018: Creation of a formal alliance

The 2018 midterm elections was a massive success for the alliance parties. The alliance was able to re-take control of the Senate and the House of Representatives. In addition, the alliance were able to take control of multiple state legislatures and governorships. David Wilson was able to win re-election as the Senate Majority Leader, and Sean Casey of the Conservative Party from South Carolina's 3rd Congressional District was able to win election as the Speaker of the House of Representatives. In his first speech as the Speaker of the House, Casey promised to reverse the "crazy left-wing influence pervasive in the government". The Conservative Party became the largest party in the House for the first time in the history of the alliance. The Conservative Party would then influence the party to change the party's platform to take a harder position on immigration and on social issues such as abortion. However, the alliance was not able to win a majority in the Senate, losing 3 seats from 2016. Moderate Conservative Jerry Mosby was able to secure a fifth term as Senate Majority Leader, and Ezekiel Santana was re-elected as Majority Whip.

The alliance also made large inroads in gaining back support from suburban voters, which had been was a critical demographic to election success. In particular, the alliance did really well in the suburban and affluent neighborhoods of Northern Virginia. This was interpreted by many as a rejection of what was believed to be radical left-wing policies being enacted by the Democratic establishment and by the rise of the Labour Party. Many would also see this victory as a sign that the moderate position was the best route in order to gain and maintain power in all levels of government. The alliance would also win in gubernatorial elections. Candidate Mark Foster became the first Republican Governor of Maryland since 2004, and the two parties were able to maintain control of state government in much of rural America.

## 2018–2024: Early years

In 2018, the CON–REP alliance was re-organized from a simple electoral alliance into a full blown political alliance. This came after a series of meetings between Frank Morrison, the then leader of the Conservative Party and Zachary Edwards who was the Chair of the Republican National Committee. After three months of discussion a draft outline known as the Articles of Liberty were published and agreed upon by the two parties. Following another five months of negotiations, the Mutual Electoral Competitiveness Agreement was signed by both parties thus forming an official political alliance between the two parties. On August 2nd, 2019, the alliance was officially recognized by the Federal Election Commission as a legal political entity. In 2020, the alliance would be put to the test for the first time with mixed results. The combined forces of the Conservative and Republican parties was not strong enough to surge the alliance into the White House, or gain a majority in either chamber of Congress, though the alliance did gain 9 seats in the House of Representatives. CON–REP candidate Jeffrey Solomon was able to unseat Democrat Roy Hodges in the North Carolina gubernatorial election. The alliance was also able to retain executive control over Utah, Montana, North Dakota, Missouri, Indiana, West Virginia, and New Hampshire. The alliance also made a significant impact in state elections, winning a majority in all of the states which voted for one of the alliance parties in 2016. They were also able to flip the Pennsylvania Attorney General from the Democratic Party to alliance candidate Selma Abdullah.

Jacob Villarreal lost the 2020 United States Presidential Election to incumbent Eric Juarez. Villarreal lost in key rust belt states including Arizona, Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin. However, Villarreal was able to retain the key swing states of Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Texas. The CON–REP alliance was unable to win New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, which were won by Juarez by an average of 28,000 votes. Villarreal's campaign lost key swing states likely in part due to his reluctance to accept human-caused climate change. Furthermore, the loss came during a period of high approval for President Villarreal and when the public was generally content with the direction that the Democratic leadership in government was taking the country. The Conservative–Republican Party did well with its primary demographics of evangelicals and white non-college educated people under 35. The alliance saw record turnout in their favor from evangelicals who united under Villarreal who himself is a member of the evangelical United Church of Salvation. The 2020 elections also saw the further use of social media marketing campaigns increase, with many campaigns utilizing social media marketing in order to drive out supporters to the polls. This had a positive effect for both Democrats and CON–REP alliance candidates, however there was a stronger effect in favor of Democrats.

A few notable Conservative and Republican politicians began their political careers in 2020. The most notable of which was the win of Helena Elizondo in Florida's 18th Congressional District. Elizondo's campaign was considered a grassroots and populist campaign in which she used her outsider status in order to rise in the polls. Elizondo was not considered likely to win the primary due to the long-standing Republican hold over the district. This would prove to not be the case as Elizondo would win convincingly in the primary election, and automatically won her seat due to no Democrat challenging the seat. Another notable figure who took office is Ash Blumenthal who was elected to the U.S. Senate for Texas. Doug Martindale would hold elected office for the first time, when he won the final seat required for the alliance to gain a majority in North Carolina's 2nd district. Many candidates running under the newly formed alliance ran as cultural conservative and fiscal moderates, with 32% categorizing themselves as "evangelical" or "very religious." The 2020 election saw the beginnings of a shift in policy from the traditionally centre-right policies into a more hard right-wing policy platform; though most of this change did not occur until decades later. Online media became the most dominant form of political discourse for conservatives in the 2020 election, overtaking Fox News and other traditional outlets for the first time. Many who joined these online media platforms were those who believed that Fox News was not as right-wing it had been in the past; while other believed that the mainstream media outlets were not moderate enough.

For a short time, this division between old media and new created a rift in the American right. Some more hardliners believed that the party should become more invested in the culture wars, while others believed sticking with the traditionally conservative economic and social principles was the best course of action. This temporary rift lead to some believing that alliance should end due to perceived ideological schisms between the majority moderate centre-right Republicans, and the more culturally hardline Conservative Party. Malcolm Jones a notable Conservative activist and Twitch streamer argued that the two parties would stand to become the most dominant forces in American politics if the then two year old alliance was ended. According to some, competition between the Conservative and Republican parties could lead to the two parties becoming the new two party system, replacing the Democratic Party entirely.

## 2024 Presidential election

The 2024 elections in the United States saw the alliance take control over the House of Representatives for the first time since 2014. The alliance would win a total of 258 out of the 435 total seats in the House, giving them a nearly 60% majority. They would also retake the Senate for the first time since the 2012 elections, winning 54 seats out of 100. The Congressional alliance members would then choose Charles Smith, who had just been re-elected to his second term in the Senate as the Majority Leader. In the House, the alliance chose Representative Michelle Dulles as Speaker of the House. Dulles had represented California's 17th Congressional District since 1978, and was a long-time ally of both the Villarreal and the McHale families. Thus many saw this as a way to bridge the divide between the two major parties of the alliance. In her first press interview as Speaker, Dulles vowed to reverse many of the policies of the Juarez administration. This included removing regulations for the beer industry, banks, and other financial institutions, as well as reversing the landmark 2022 Maxwell v. Simons Supreme Court Case that paved the way for increased access to abortions. Dulles went on to say that their win was a sign of a mandate from the people in favor of more fiscally and socially conservative positions in the face of "increasingly radical" Democratic politices. The alliance were able to secure a fairly narrow majority in the Senate with only 54 seats. Many in the media saw the crushing defeat for the American left as the end of the Juarez era in the United States.

## 2025–2044: The Golden Age

2025 began a period in which the Conservative–Republican Party was the dominant political party in national politics. The alliance held control over the Senate from 2025 to 2041, and held that House from 2025 to 2031, and from 2041 to 2049. During the period, the alliance held majorities in both the House and Senate after the 2026, 2028, 2030, 2040-2048 Congressional elections. During the end of the Juarez administration, the alliance were able to successfully block many of the remaining major policy proposals set out by Juarez in the 2020 election. Once Juarez was replaced with Jacob Villarreal, Congressional conservatives quickly moved to repeal the Right to Serve Act which prevented discrimination against members of the military who identified as LGBTQ+. The alliance would also repeal the Environmental Safety and Economic Prosperity Act thus paving the way for new fracking projects to begin. On March 2nd, Congress passed the Personal Responsibility and Work Requirement Act and the Welfare Fraud Prevention Act which caused a dramatic shift in the welfare scheme in the United States. After the two laws had passed, the responsibility to provide welfare to citizens was shifted from the federal government to state and local governments. Additionally, the two laws included new schemes to protect the system from claims of fraud and abuse. This was done by introducing means tests in order to determine eligibility for welfare recipients. The law would also de-register everyone from previous welfare programs in order to prevent those already committing fraud from being able to abuse the new system. These measures were quickly denounced by many including Democrats, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and many in the social work profession. According to these groups, the new system was unfair and disproportionally harsh to the vast majority of recipients who had not committed fraud. In late 2026 the American Health Care Act was passed. This version of the original American Health Care Act dramatically decreased eligibility for Medicare and Medicaid, and reduced the average benefits for Medicare from $4,200 to $2,300 per year. The law also override the Americans with Mental Illnesses Act by re-allowing for insurance companies to charge varying rates for mental illnesses. The law also made it illegal for doctors to perform abortions and for a woman to receive after 20 weeks of pregnancy, which would result in a maximum of 5 years in prisons.

The 2026 midterms saw a slight decrease in the alliance's majority in the House, with a gain of 2 seats in the Senate. Those two seats coming from the key battleground states of Pennsylvania and Michigan. The member parties would also sign the Joint Co-Operation and Election Competition Agreement in 2027, re-affirming the alliance's core values and pledging to avoid splintering the right-wing vote in all competitive districts. The alliance would also see the addition of the libertarian Social Co-operation Party, marking the first time a libertarian party joined the alliance. The alliance lost 8 seats in the House and gained 2 seats in the Senate while also maintaining their majority in both chambers. The alliance would also lose seats in the territorial legislatures of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. Losing their majority in the Northern Mariana Islands for the first time since 2016.

The 2028 elections were won by the alliance with them retaining their majority in both chambers of Congress. The House would see an increase of 19 seats to the alliance due to fragmentation on the left. These included Michigan's 4th Congressional District, Maryland's 6th Congressional District and California's 16th Congressional District, all of which had held by Democrats since 2006. Their majority in the Senate however would decrease by 3 seats. The alliance would also retain all previously Republican held governorships. They would also win all the seats in the legislature of the Northern Mariana Islands for the first time ever.

Dylan Alexander would also be nominated as the Minority Whip after Ezekiel Santana chose not to run for re-election. This would mark the first changing of the guard in the alliance's history, with the ascendancy of a new generation of conservatives into the highest legislative offices in the United States. Dylan Alexander became the first senator in U.S. history to be chosen for a senior leadership position as a freshman senator, who had recently retired from the NFL. Alexander was chosen due to his strong views against immigration and strong opinions on culture war issues. Ultra-conservative Sarah Dudley was appointed to the Secretary of State. Dale McNamara's Supreme Court nomination was blocked in the Senate due to a lack of support from Conservative–Republican Party. The alliance were able to maintain their control over both chambers of Congress in the 2030 elections. They would win 249 seats, a loss of 20 seats in the House of Representatives; and they won 53 seats which was a loss of 11 seats in the U.S. Senate. The alliance were able to barely maintain control over both chambers, with the Conservative–Republicans losing support due to the Summergate controversy.

In the 2032 Elections, the alliance would continue their slope downwards, losing control over the House of Representatives but keeping control over the Senate. Additionally, CON–REP candidate Vladimir Ivanovic narrowly lost the 2032 Presidential election to Labour candidate Senator Roderick Kendall. The New York Daily Times released a bombshell article on August 22nd, 2032 alleging connections between Ivanovic and his former business' and the Russian company Rustech, which was owned by Ivanovich's uncle. The article would claim secret meetings between Ivanovich and the Rustech's CEO on multiple occasions; claiming that they were bribing him for influence over a potential future administration. Conservative–Republican hardliners continued to support Ivanovic due to his policies on immigration and social issues. Party Chair Helena Elizondo called on the members of the alliance to continue to back their candidate against an alleged coup that would've led to Daniel Ingram being the alliance's nominee instead of Ivanovich. However, the alliance would never find the numbers for Ingram to be able to successfully win the primary. The ties between Ivanovic and the Russian state-backed Rustelecom company divided many of the party throughout the 2032 election, which led to multiple CON–REP candidates losing to either establishment Conservative candidates or to Labour candidates. The strong ideologically conservative wing would continue to back Ivanovic while many moderate and socially liberal members would try to remove Ivanovich from the alliance.

2034's midterm elections saw the rise of a Neo-Longian wing of the party. These candidates combined the social policies of Huey Long with market economic policies. Some more traditionally disciples of Huey Long's ideology such as the Huey Long Institute denounced these as a perversion of Long's beliefs. Many of these so-called "Neo-Longian" politicians were popular due to their message of small government, low taxes, but were also in favor of a living wage, universal basic income, and strong social welfare programs. The Neo-Longian wing of the party would have 4 members elected to the U.S. House of Delegates, 7 Senators, and 18 Representatives elected; many of which came from poorer regions of the South which continue to be strongholds of Huey Long supporters. Dustin Martins became the Chair of the Congressional Caucus for Prosperity, which is the caucus of people who's ideology would be considered Neo-Longian. Notably, the supporters of this new ideology were opposed to Huey Long's distributionism policies declaring them "Socialism with American characteristics." The Conservative–Republican Party would re-gain 12 seats in the House, and still were in the Minority. In the Senate, the alliance would gain 3 seats, strengthening their majority. Many of the establishment Conservatives and Republicans would also side with moderate and Conservative Democrats to block Labour legislation deemed to radical, such as the Clean and Renewable Energy Standards and Mandates Act and a bill that would've granted statehood to Washington, D.C.

The Abuse of Powers Act of 2035 was a landmark piece of legislation passed by the Congress on July 20th, 2035 and. The bill would be vetoed by Roderick Kendall on the 24th, and the veto was overruled days later. The bill would allow for changes in the election process, including the ability for Congress to table motions of no-confidence in the government, thus triggering a general election. This bill receieved 100% support from the Congressional CON–REP parties, and even was backed by Democrats; though the bill has yet to be used. A year later, the 2036 elections continued the rise of the Neo-Longian wing of the party. The wing would overtake the more hard-right in the Senate for the first time, and nearly became the third largest wing of the party. The alliance as a whole would try an embrace this new wing of the party including the nomination of Ethan Soo in the 2036 Presidential election. Prior to his nomination Soo was serving as U.S. Senator from Louisiana and had served as the Chairman of the Huey Long Institute for Social Policy and had served as a member on the Policy Committee at the Long Institute. He would defeat traditional Conservative candidates Herb Gottfried and Martha Stewart, as well as Trevor Forrester, who was the favorite of the more right-wing of the party. Other candidates included Frankie Jones who was a proponent of social Darwinism, Evan McBride, and U.S. Navy Captain Myles Northcutt. Senator Rodney Williamson would also found the American Free Speech Institute and the Congressional Free Speech Caucus. The alliance maintained control over almost all of their Gubernatorial seats with the exception of Virginia, who elected Democrat Phil Orkney as Governor. The alliance also had an increase of black and Hispanic votes. The party held control over the Senate with 58 seats however they continued to be in the minority in the House with 179 seats out of 435. The following year would be the first elections for the newly created House of Delegates. The alliance campaigned on reigning-in the over-reaching power and authority of the President. Minority vote would increase thanks to further action by activists and grassroots conservative organizations to clean-up the image of the party as being the party for white people. The Conservative–Republican Party would remain ahead of the Democratic-Labour coalition by an average margin of 3.5%. This election was seen as potential turning point for the Kendall Presidency, and conservatives used this as a referendum on the Kendall Presidency. Their platform would prove to be successful with the alliance coming out on top with a combined total of 58 out of 112 seats. The Conservative Party were the largest party with 23 seats, Republicans had 21 seats, the Liberal Party had 8 seats, the Alliance Party had 2 seats along with the Federalist Party, the National Party had 1 seat and the Libertarian Party also had 1 seat.

## 2045–2055

In May of 2051, Democratic Senator Margaret Walsh introduced a bill that would create a third chamber of Congress that would be responsible for electoral borders and checking the powers of the President. This bill was proposed as a reaction to the removal of term limits passed in the 28th amendment. The bill received overhwelming support from Conservatives, as well as from centrist and moderate Democratic Representatives. Some who endorsed the bill included: Justin Finch, David Ortiz, and Blake Alexander. The bill would end up passing through the Senate with 3 Democrats and 1 Labour Senator breaking away from their party and voting for the bill. The bill would then pass through the House with an additional 13 Representatives from the Democratic and Labour parties voting in favor. The bill would then be vetoed by the Roderick Kendall, however Congress would override the veto, passing a new bill that created the House of Delegates. The 2052 midterm elections were chosen to be the first election for the newly created chamber.

The alliance parties' main policy in the election was keeping President Kendall accountable for believed executive overreach. The campaign relied on keeping the executive branch of wielding too much authority over the daily lives of American citizens. Opposition parties ran on a platform of transparency and accountablility for lobbyists and other political donors. Going into the mid-terms the alliance parties held a slightly more lead in polls. Many pundits expected that the newly formed chamber would see an alliance majority, who could bring up impeachment charges against President Kendall. This would cause the left-wing voters to coalesce around keeping the alliance from turning this newly formed body into that of another partisan legislature. In many strong alliance states, no Democratic candidates was fielded, with a large focus on key states and territories. The U.S. territories of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands were included in federal elections for the first time. For the alliance all of these territories were key battlegrounds in order to win a majority in the House of Delegates. Included in this campaigning were visits from Roderick Kendall to Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.

In the first ever elections for the House of Delegates, the CON–REP alliance won the vast majority of seats in the chamber with 66. No single party was able to win an outright majority in the House of Delegates. Therefore, the parties in the CON–REP alliance formed a coalition government with the far-right American Freedom Party. In addition, none of the alliance parties were the largest party, with the Labour Party being the largest party with 20 delegates. The largest alliance party was the Conservative Party who won 16 seats. The Liberal Party was able to upset the Republicans winning 15 seats and becoming the second largest party in the alliance. Republicans were the third largest party in the alliance with 14 seats. The centrist Alliance Party won 13 seats and the American Freedom Party won eight seats. Paulina DeLeon was then nominated as the President of the House of Delegates, and Walter Cranston was appointed as the first Speaker of the House of Delegates. Both of these two delegates would then quickly step down for their official party memberships and would take office as non-partisan presiding officers of the newly formed chamber. Surprising no one, both delegates from the Northern Mariana Islands were from the alliance, which was the largest non-Caucasian majority state or territory to send both elected officials from a right-wing party.

Esther Clausen was elected as the first Majority Leader for the alliance, and Sarah Pearson became the first ever Majority Whip. Both positions are the highest partisan leadership positions in the chamber. Many saw the creation of this new third legislature and the large victory by the CON–REP alliance as a rebuke of the left-wing politics of the Kendall administration and perceived government over-reach. The main campaign platform of introducing articles of impeachment never manifested due to a lack of support from left-wing Delegates and from some Republicans. Former Vice President Mustafa Salaam, now Delegate from Maryland was one of the most vocal critics against this proposal, arguing that it was baseless and politically motivated. Articles of impeachment were introduced seven times in the House of Delegates and never passed the committee stage. Efforts were also made by alliance delegates to redistrict electoral boundaries in a favorable manner for the right; however, this too would fail to manifest.

The newly formed chamber did successfully vote on the impeachment of U.S. Senator form Kentucky Roy Cain amid accusations of sexual assault and rape by 10 former staffers from 1993 to 2050. He would subsequently be barred from holding any national public office for the rest of his life after the House found him guilty of sexually assaulting 4 out of the 10 former staffers and an additional 5 former campaign staffers. The 2052 midterm elections was the first wave election in a long time. The Conservative–Republican alliance based their opposition to Roderick Kendall rather than the policies of his administration. The party positioned themselves as a traditional neoliberal political party opposed to radical, extremist policies under taken by the Kendall administration. The midterm elections also saw the rise on populist candidates from both sides of the political aisle. For the CON–REP alliance, there was a resurgence in the neo-Longian school of thought. This faction was led by Howard Long, who was in favor of taxing the rich, lowering healthcare costs, reducing crime, and was anti-abortion.

This renewal of Huey Long's faction of the party was quickly embraced and co-opted by the more moderate elements of the party. The party would quickly coalesce around Long and would adopt Longian policies into their party's platform going forward. Not all members of the party were in favor of the sudden ideological shift in the party. More traditional conservative and neo-conservative figures such as William Kennedy would denounce the Longian faction as ideological zealots and leftists. Other figures such as former Father of the House Nathaniel Forrester and Daniel Smith also voiced their concerns over what they called a "left-wing takeover" of their party. The Longian wing of the Conservative–Republican Party would be vindicated as they would re-take the the Senate for the first time since 2043, and gained control over the House of Representatives. Many of the more conservative members of the party would retire or lost their party's primary elections. The newly minted majority of pro-Longian members of Congress quickly entered negotiations with the Libertarian Party and the Liberal Party and were able to create a majority coalition in the House. This would ensure that any favored policies by either the more right-wing factions of their own party, or legislation from left-wing majority parties would be easily blocked by the new coalition. This was quickly dubbed the obstructionist coalition by the conservative faction and by the majority Labour Party.

On March 19th, 2053, The Conservative–Republican Party were able to pass sweeping legislation to overturn gun control measures. They would also pass laws to restrict state travel for abortions, and would implement favorable redistricting for the 2056 elections. The most influential member of the new faction was Representative Helena Elizondo from Florida. She was deeply popular amongst the party's electorate and was also popular in the party. She would quickly rise to prominence in the House thanks to fiery speeches on crime, homelessness, and LGBT rights; and many assumed that the freshman Congresswoman would become a front-runner for a senior job in the future. Elizondo was one of the strongest critics of Roderick Kendall, and even called for articles of impeachment at times. Elizondo's most infamous legislation was the Election Reformation and Security Act of 2054, which would allow for the snap general election to be called with a 2/3rds majority in all three Houses and with the consent of all senior leaders of Congress. Many in her party lauded this legislation as a way to hold to account Congress, however some speculated that Elizondo wanted a general election to be called in order to strengthen the majority of her party.

Following the loss in the 2056 election, the CON–REP Party, leader Aaron Peterson resigned as the leader of the party. Soon after the party held elections for a new leader from the Conservative Party. Outgoing Leader of the Opposition Franklin Salzburg was replaced by right–winger Esther Clausen, which also names her as the Chair of the Congressional Conservative–Republican Party. The 2056 election was also defined by the election of Helena Elizondo to the position of Governor of Florida. This was seen by name as passing of the baton to a new younger generation of a more ideological conservative tendency. The rise of Elizondo also led to a large exodus from the party by moderate and centrists, who would go on to reform the Republican Party as well as joining the Democratic Party. Many of those who left saw both the dominant Labour and CON–REP parties as being too extreme, thus necessitating the creation of what they saw as a rational middle ground option.

The Conservative–Republican Party, with their newly acquired slight majority in all three chambers of Congress invoked the Election Transparency and Government Accountability Act, which led to a recall election in January of 2057, an anti-Roderick Kendall coalition began to form, and included the all Conservative–Republican members of Congress, some Democratic, Labour members, and even a majority of those who had left the party months prior. The anti-Kendall coalition formed due to growing dissatisfaction with the Roderick Kendall, who has served as President since 2033. The vote was overwhelming in favor of recalling Roderick Kendall, thus triggering a presidential election which will occur on November 6, 2057, The Conservative–Republican associated company, launched the Liberty Phone 1 in August of 2057 as an alternative to iPhones and Android smartphones. The Liberty Phone 1 was launched with PatriotOS version 1.0 and was updated to version 3.
