A Tea Partier Speaks

[ifrtbttrflys]

How the Tea Party helped Trump win the election
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016/11/12/how-tea-party-helped-trump-win-election.html

The author is Jenny Beth Martin, "co-founder and national coordinator of Tea Party Patriots, a national grassroots organization with more than 3500 chapters."

While the progressive establishment is still coming to grips with what they weren't even aware of that caused Trump's triumph, their bigger shock will arrive when they realize how significantly wrong they were, too, to fantasize the Tea Party has lost any significance at all.

No one political entity can claim more legitimate credit for Trump's triumph than the grassroots Tea Party movement, and no other lone political entity will hold the new President-elect more accountable from now on.

No, the Tea Party didn't elect Trump.

I don't know if it even exists anymore, but many self-proclaimed "conservatives" rejected Trump all along.

The conservatives are a junior partner in the Trump coalition. Populists, anti-globalists, and nationalists are the dominant wing of the movement, but of course, all are welcome (except for Bilderbergers, Reptilians, and WEF'ers).

I suspect this is a case of success having many fathers. I don't really see any leftie, hate-spewing group stepping forward to take credit for Hillary's defeat

Hillary's chortling, insult-spewing supporters had more to do with getting out the vote than any other thing.

...and no other lone political entity will hold the new President-elect more accountable from now on.

This will never happen.

 

[Hypoxia]

Quite. The new president is accountable to courts that can block him, to Congress that can impeach him, and to voters only if he wants re-election. Accountable to bagheads? Ha.

My prediction: Tromp will have great fun for four years and will then retire. Nobody outside his family will like what he does. He can really piss-off Congress and not even mind being impeached. He can install Steve Bannon as chief of staff and Ann Coulter (or Alex Jones) as press secretary just to fuck with all our heads. He can make uncomfortable appointments. And he can walk away laughing.

It is not surprising to see that even after such a revolutionary election, so many still choose to remain committed to their same, old political views. Comfort, as they say, is no doubt much, much more secure and appealing than change itself.

From those who elected Trump with their votes against "politics as usual" in general, to those Democrats who stayed home instead of voting for Hillary Clinton's "politics as usual" specifically, Tuesday's election results have no other meaning than that "politics as usual" overall was soundly defeated.

Trump's nomination was a crystal clear rebuff of Republican Party "politics as usual", and his revolutionary win has put the Democratic Party's "politics as usual" on its own death bed, the Party's only chance of significant organizational recovery lying in going far more socialist, which will only lose them even more state and national offices than the ghastly amount they've already lost since 2008.

Almost everything else has already made the linear-to-exponential natural switch; Tuesday, November 8, 2016 marks the day American politics finally switched, too.

In an era where everything naturally gears more exponentially toward the individual, the linear thinking of "politics as usual" has been dealt a fateful blow.

“We have to install the playbook of the Tea Party,” said Ohio state lawmaker Nina Turner, a Sanders surrogate. “The Tea Party had mainstream Republicans shaking in their boots. Even the ones that hung on knew they had to listen to what the grassroots was saying. Obviously, we don’t want to govern anything like the Tea Party, but from a tactical standpoint, we have to run and support progressive candidates to keep the establishment honest.”

Poor person doesn't realize "the Tea Party" has God and the absolute hate of abortion and Leviathan government as the very winds beneath its political sails. It's going to be a blast experiencing all these "progressive candidates" spending mega $$ and time going after the now-needed "rural" vote just so reality can smack them upside the face again.

Neither political party has fully realized what the last four decades have done for the "average American".
Trump was part of a rage vote, but that rage is a reaction to everything that has fucked over the working middle class since the 1960's; the MIC (military industrial complex) the WIC (welfare industrial complex), the deterioration of the post WW2 industrial base, the erosion of the middle class, the cheapening of "education", the marginalization or working class values, identity politics over individual liberty, the rising affluence of the 1%, the influence of the corporate citizen over the needs of the human citizen, the shift in demographics, the death of the "American Dream", the Cold War and its aftermath, the rise of anti-intellectualism, the War on Drugs, the 24 hour news cycle, globalisation, radical Islam, 9/11, social media, SJW's, 3rd wave feminism, same sex marriage, the rise of China, the EU, Brexit, reality tv shows, etc, etc, etc.

People are at a stage where they no longer give a shit and, indeed, are hoping for some sort of apocalypse, if nothing else than to just pare away the superficial bullshit.

Folks like Botany Boy or Ted Kaczynski are no longer outliers, but a growing demographic that are sick of all the bullshit and want it to end, no matter what the price, and let the chips fall where they may.

The culture and the popular perception thereof has mutated so fast, particularly in the last 20 years, that the "powers that be" haven't the ability to figure out what the hell is going on, much less how to cope.
Yet the geopolitical realities remain and will not be denied or ignored, to everyone's peril.

And they didn't do boat tours then. "Chicken of the sea" meant roasted seagull. I wonder whose bitch he was?
