Whatever Happened to the Tea Party?

Seems like they were considered too far right for mainstream conservatives.
Did the left win by forcing us to eat our own, and move closer to the center in the process?
It seems they were tainted as ‘the crazies’ and included anti-vaxers and birth certificate conspiracy theorists.
Can we make a comeback?

They morphed and we’re taken over. Legit movement when they were solely about government spending and shrinking it. Then it got taken over by people pushing other conservative issues. I wish the real one would come back.

The MSM shamed them out of existence with 24/7 negative coverage, branding them as "too extreme" and "violent."
Of course the same mental midgets in the media now champion extremist, violent Antifa as "anti-fascists"

The big tea party freshman class in 2010 didn't do anything to cut the deficit. They essentially became the Freedom Caucus in the House.
That group will probably come back when there's a Dem president in the WH to rally against

Obama had the IRS target them and their members in a massive criminal abuse of power

Dick Armey and his establishment cohorts took it over and ruined it

Weaponization of the IRS did not help the cause.

inside job... once republicans controlled both houses of the legislature, they voted for a big massive spending increase and basically ran out the tea party crowd (Santori Mike Lee, etc).. Rand Paul was the only one still trying to stick to their original principals. Even Rafael Theodore Cruz stabbed them in the back and 'reluctantly' agreed to support big spending increases and larger deficits.
the nation could really, reallly benefit from a tea party 3.0. shite is out of control at the moment.

They were "shamed out of existence"? Sounds like the TEA party were the " mental midgets"

This is true about everything conservative. Most of the GOPe are anything but conservative yet they waive that flag high at election time. Now, the term has so many meanings that you clarifying adjectives when saying you are conservative.

They elected Donald John Trump as President of the United States.

Ron Paul's 2008 presidential campaign was the genesis for the Tea Party movement. The elites could not stand for the principles and positions Paul spoke about.
They usurped the movement with globalists like Michelle Bachman and Sarah Palin.

GOP only cares about deficit when it's a democrat in office so no real point continuing tea party once Trump was elected.
