HISTORY

Used in a fictional Steven King novel, the Dead Zone published by Viking in 1979. Adapted for film in 1983 by David Cronenberg starring Christopher Walken. Became a TV series 2002-2007.

MERITS

Has some urgency. Has a sense of putting America first and propelling it to less contested super power status, which is a value favorable to a majority of Americans

History

Established in 2002 as a paleoconservative isolationist party, it has enjoyed minor success in Florida and Michigan but has endorsed candidates from the Libertarian and Constitution parties for lack of its own qualified candidates, one of which was associated with the alt-right.

MERITS

American intervention has cost trillions of dollars and stirred up hatred toward the United States. Non-globalist economic policies are implied by the name. A strong labor movement in the United States would see this as a positive. Bringing jobs home to America is highly resonant. The name also relates to immigration policies and international negotiating positions such as the Paris Accords, which highly disfavor US interests.

DRAWBACKS

Outside of the fact that the name is already taken, a majority of Americans are actually globalists at heart. While the name is born of a need for counter-balance, nationalism for its own sake is seen as selfish by nature.

Fiction history

The All Night Party name was used by Marvel Comics. Sporting the slogan “Get Down, America!”, the All-Night Party was a fictional political party that appeared in Gerber’s Howard the Duck series during the U.S. Presidential campaign of 1976, and led to Howard the Duck receiving thousands of write-in votes in the actual election. Gerber addressed questions about the campaign in the letters column of the comic book and, as Mad Genius Associates, sold merchandise publicizing the campaign.

MERITS

Suggests strength and commitment during dark times.

DRAWBACKS

Outside of possible recognition from prior use, especially that of a comic book duck that could become the brunt of mockery, the name suggests partying and irresponsible behavior.
