I never heard that. Could you summarize what happened? I always assumed it didn’t develop enough support to win elections.
Tea Party movement is alive and well. It now is called Q.
You’ve all forgotten the impact Kokishin, Lois Lerner and the IRS had harrassing Tea Party groups. They delayed or rejected tax exempt status, demanded names of members, demanded the names of speakers, transcripts of speeches...
Then after giving the GOP the House and then the Senate, the voters saw no difference. Obama care wasn’t defunded as the House had the authority to do. The GOP was so worried about a gov’t shutdown, they rolled over and gave Obama and the minority Dems everything they wanted. Only the GOP wants bipartisanship. The Dems pass bills in the dead of night that no one has read.
That’s why the Tea Party appears to be out of business. It isn’t, it is just even less organized than before.
Trump gets it. Both parties are corrupt. Drain the swamp!
