The right needs a “Tea Party” moment.

Gotta flush out the politicians that were swept in with the Tea Party and then never did anything with it. By the way, Obama tried to kill the Tea Party.

This is a repeat of the 60’s when the hippies took the Democratic Party from the dixiecrats.

The DSA is to the mainstream democrats what MAGA is to the Neocon right.

Nope. Not going to happen. Already reports are coming out of Michigan that Dems are saying they'll vote Republican before voting for Socialist.
Who knows what the distant future holds, but the majority of American voters who elected Trump will not vote for a commie.
The DSA is a camcer for the Dems. It will only split/fracture their voter base.

Tea party was about fiscal responsibility

I’d welcome more of that

Our current spending is unsustainable

We are watching the systematic takeover of America using our own political system against us

Instead of 'taxed enough already', their message is murder the rich, free stuff for everyone



Yeah, that'll gain wide spread support in a free society.

We've had it! The American First/MAGA movement. It amazes me that some don't understand this..... the MAGA folks made our voices heard when Trump won. But that was only for POTUS. Just because Trump won doesn't change Congress. We have to continue the effort and vote for better congressional representation.
If Trump was a king/dictator, then yeah.... he could've set things right, but he's not.
We the people have to take responsibility and do our duty.
Its not complicated

No, you're witnessing in real time a commie Frankenstein the Democrats created to do their dirty work and perceived short cut to more power but now they have lost complete control of this monster. They will be completely consume by the commie Frankenstein they created, if not already!

The Tea Party started in early 2009, when our debt was about $11 trillion. We are now at $40 trillion. I’m not an economist, but how we are still afloat baffles me.

Oh, I understand it just fine. Look up what the ‘tea party’ was about. The President as well as the legislature is fine with $2T/yr deficits. There is no restraint AT all. FedGov is a bloated corrupt carcass filled with taxpayer dollars that become devalued more and more every day. Anyone who mentions it becomes a pariah and is not a ‘team player.’

In 2020 Biden was slated to spend the most. Not Bernie, not Trump, not Elizabeth warren, but Biden.


And he received the most votes ever in the most secure election ever. The people want to spend.

Everyone’s guy is going to ‘right the ship’. (They never do) However, a little less money was confiscated from me this year, so…huzzah?

No, what we’re watching is a recreation of Game of Thrones where cersei gives power and legitimacy to the sparrow and his religious fanatics to help her get rid of problematic peopleonly to the lose control of those fanatics who take over Institute a theocratic government

Which naturally will lead to the destruction of the capital in a giant green explosion


Basically, the Democrats are so retarded. They are supporting people who literally, and clearly stated, want to destroy the United States just to fight their political opponents who they fabricate stories about them wantingto destroy the United States.

The BBB was the exact opposite of the Tea Party and Trump attacked everyone who didn't support it.

Trump also has an economic policy of heavy inflation, which is about the worse tax possible on people.

The timing is real close to the change that has historically occurred every 60 years.

That’s just the living ones who are legally in the country, a tiny portion of their voters.

Much of the economy runs on feelings. Stocks rise and fall on sentiment as much as fundamentals. Excitement that a stock will rise causes an influx of demand that increases the price while the company's numbers remain the same. The stock price frequently outperforms the profit.

A rumor that a bank is insolvent fuels a run. The panic creates, at least exacerbates, the problem. The stock market closes when there is too much panic.

World leaders collectively tell us everything is fine. Most people are relatively uninformed and accept it. Trust in the system props it up for a little longer.
