Yup, the tea party was founded by asshats who said, “Gubmet bahhd, I don’t want to pay any taxes at all!” And of course, it was bankrolled by billionaires, large corporations and investment firms, and they slapped a “populist” sticker on it.

Also, they tapped into the sheer rage these people felt over having a Black president. You know how we feel about this fascist regime? This is how the “tea party” repubs felt about Obama, except it lacked any rational basis and was driven by ignorance, a weird attraction to free-market capitalism, lack of education and hatred.
