    Not to quibble, but I do have one small disagreement w/ @JonahNRO (& @BillKristol). I might be the only center-right observer who saw the Tea Party as a forerunner to Trumpian populism. This is from my (January, 2016) book, “Too Dumb to Fail.”pic.twitter.com/sWFFX6dQRY

        What? Are you kidding? The Tea Party cares **DEEPLY** about government debt! Just look at all the massive nationwide protests they've engaged in recently on that subject, just as debt is EXPLODING! They were never just BSers playing on racial anxiety right @TeaPartyExpress? ...😂

        Your observations in September, 2010, were spot on. The acceptance of anti-intellectualism by the Republican Party is stunning and sad. (Also, love the Proverbs 4:7 reference - going to put that on the chalkboard for my teenagers.)

        A Trumpist is a Tea Partier who’s been mugged by political reality.

        As with Trump, not all attacks against TEA party had merit. But there were certainly warning signs of unhinged populism that could be co-opted, manipulated or abused.

        You are absolutely correct. But you haven’t gone far enough enough back. Or events in between PALIN—>Tea Party—>Boehner capitulation to Freedom Caucus—>>McConnell declared obstruction of Obama—>Trump (Russia; and US press never reported Trump known conduct and history.)

        lol @ your Tea Party = “anti intellectual” comment. The “intellectuals” of the GOP succeeded in big way - didn’t they?
