    Reality check: the Tea Party was never about protesting "government bailouts of corporations and banks". Read the original Rick Santelli rant. It was anger at helping "losers" -- i.e., brown people. It was the road to Trumpismhttps://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/17/opinion/sunday/tea-party-trump-budget.html?smid=tw-nytopinion&smtyp=cur …

        You and many of your fellow Tea Party activists are remarkably ill informed and oblivious to the consequences of what you do.

        It was always a front for the Republican Party establishment.

        Yes, Tea Party is a construction of the Koch brothers, a front group pretending to be grassroots. I know several "members" but they don't know that it's a setup.

        One has to wonder how much of our political dysfunction and discord has been exacerbated by external operatives who likely have been at this for years, if not decades
