Until the Left can articulate some sort of sane vision (something they aren’t currently capable of IMO) they are not going to gain much traction.
No, it involves work and fire-in-the-belly to get a Tea Party movement off the ground.
The Progressives and Control-LEFT media would rather bitch and complain. For them, it all about soundbites.
NO. The Left is not a natural movement.
In America, it is a cobbled-together group of many disparate, even conflicting interests.
It is held together by MONEY (usually government money, but sometimes special interest money). Its interests are constantly being pushed upstream by particular interests in media, government and business. The Left can’t exist without the force of government and constant propaganda
Nope.
Because identity politics, anti-white racism, open unquestioned support for Islam, support for radical domestic terrorist groups like BLM and Intafa(sp?), demand for socialism everywhere, and not giving a rip about jobs...
Is not a movement. These are at best a bunch of anti-American kooks that hate each other as much as they hate the nation.
In fact it is a recipe for an implosion harder that Occupy Wall Street.
Rush mentioned this on his show yesterday. They’ve tried already with Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter and they’ve failed. The Tea Party was a spontaneous movement with real passion from people who were fed up with the way they were being governed. Anything the left tries to pass off as a “Tea Party” movement of their own is simply a manufactured “I Hate Trump: Gimme Back My Big Government” movement. Forget it libs. It won’t be a real movement. It’ll be fake like everything else in that party.
As long as we acknowledge this would be an anti-American “tea party.”
The attempts wind up either being or turning into a BLM, Code Pink, or the Weathermen. Pure fringe lunatic liberal.
The women’s march agenda was this:
“We’re here, and we’re not going away.
“And we’re mad.
“And if you don’t know why we’re not going to tell you”
I think the reason for the success of the Tea Party is it’s single, simple stimulus: fiscal responsibility.
That stimulus is unarguably a good motivation, acceptable to most people, regardless of their other values.
Broad appeal, simple focus.
Also, lots of good people.
Look folks, we can (rightly) belittle the womens’ march and the moonbat left, but the fact is that the leadership of this Planned Parenthood / George Soros operation is backed, in practice at the voting booth, by about half of our middle America neighbors, and the entirety of the network and wire news services, and a healthy majority of the entertainment industry.
About half of voters like the idea of socialism and the large welfare state and the open sex sexual revolution.
The march of the loons is one tiny portion of the more organized and better thought-out activity they have coming.
Much of their Socialist/Communist core has been exposed, which is terrific!
But, Full Frontal Socialism is NOT an easy sell; they’ll need to continue to sugar coat it and sell it in small doses, as they have done for my entire lifetime.
And I don’t doubt that that is exactly what they will continue to do. I don’t think we’re going to see one big, ‘movement.’ Smoke, mirrors and obfuscation? Yep.
Another home-run by Schlichter. I do enjoy reading his columns.
The Tea Party was a testosterone injection into the Low-T party.

They have already gone way past the tea party. We were polite amateurs compared to the level of in-your-face level of organized protestations that leftist thugs carry carry out.
It’s the equivalent of them wanting progressive talk radio when they already control 90% of the propaganda organs.
Remember that Tea Parties and other conservative groups were attacked by IRS, BATF and others. Once Trump has time to hammer down on them, freedom of speech will return to American and Tea Parties.
They will be just as successful as they were in creating their own liberal talk radio network to take out Rush Limbaugh and other conservative talkers.
Progressives = Marxism
The “coffee party” or “coffee table” group they tried to come up with as a liberal alternative to the Tea Party fell flat.
No. They have no unifying message.
