No,what is happening in the Democrat party is a Bolsheviks vs Mensheviks type struggle.
The Tea Party movement was to throw off the the encroaching Deep State and its attempts to cement its power.
No $h!t, not a comparison at all.
Did they really put it that way back then?
You could say that if by the "Deep State" you mean the federal bureaucracy, but the "Deep State" was usually meant to refer to the intelligence and law enforcement agencies, not to other branches of the bureaucracy.
The title can certainly be taken as a dig at the Tea Party, but the basic idea - that there is the Establishment and there are the insurgents - holds true, doesn't it?
To look for another example of similar conflict in Congress, you might take 1994 or 1974 or 1964, but most people's memories may not go back that far.
