Who is “we?” Fake conservatives, who stood opposed to the Tea Party? People who think Planned Parenthood is “terrific?” Who reject the invisible hand of the marketplace for the controlling hand and unbridled hubris of the state? People who are so afraid of freedom they will run into the arms of a wanna-be demagogue?
The movement going on now is the real original Tea Party springing back to life. It is yuge. Just like it was when it began.
It was co-opted and fizzled. It was never supposed to be just a conservative thing. Ask yourself how many “Tea Party” candidates ended up being RINOs. The Tea Party was for all Americans who desired to hold all politicians feet to the fire.
