The Tea Party Is Slowly Dying, But It’s Being Replaced By Fascism
By Manny Schewitz
Remember when the Tea Party was the dumbest thing that the Republican Party had going on? Remember when we had Michele Bachmann and the half-term governor from Alaska as the best examples of how mindless GOP voters had become? Boy, those were the days, weren’t they?
Just a few years ago, the Tea Party was all the rage in the Republican Party. Armed with “Don’t Tread On Me” flags and tri-cornered hats, they held rallies around the country while political grifters warned about Obamacare death panels and promised to “take back America” while peddling their books. Now the Tea Party has hit a new low in support since the last poll in October as the Republican Party enters a new, far more bizarre chapter in its history.
…
Part of the blame can certainly be placed on the conservative media. For a period of time, the Tea Party was considered revolutionary and websites like TPNN.com flourished. Eventually, simply spreading conspiracy stories about gun confiscation and Obamacare death panels wasn’t enough. This explains why Donald Trump has such a “yuuuuugge” lead in GOP polls; he’s willing to say the things that many Tea Party leaders would have considered just a bit too much, and voters are eating it up.
The Republican Party is lurching away from the Tea Party and toward a frightening marriage of religious fanaticism and fascism. Based on history, this cannot end well, at all.

The ‘Bundy situation‘ in Nevada has raised the possibility of a chilling new chapter in America. No longer are the domestic terrorists masquerading as militias willing to just talk about revolution — they’re ready to start shooting! The recent events at the Bundy Ranch, in which many of the nation’s violent extremists congregated — ready to use women as human shields in a firefight — to defend their freeloading criminal pal Cliven Bundy against the tyranny of the government expecting him to pay his debts is not just an isolated incident.
William Jasper at the New American, a John Birch Society publication, says that the extremism demonstrated in Nevada is just a harbinger of what’s to come. ...

According to our ‘Bircher’ friend, Bundy is not the only ‘victim’ in all of this — and they will continue, galvanized by the “victory” they saw when the federal government gave in to their terrorist actions in order to protect the lives of those who were simply attempting to enforce a court order, to take up arms in “defense” of these freedumb-loving “patriots” and their right to eschew any and all financial responsibility while still reaping the benefits of the use of federal land for personal reward.
According to Jasper, "…it is almost a certainty that the recently defused Bundy Ranch standoff will be replayed again — and in the not-too-distant future. And the outcome could be much less amicable for all concerned…"

Unfortunately, he may be right. The crazies have been whipped into a frenzy that transcends even the most unreasonable and paranoid of right-wing punditry. Only time will tell how this will play out, but if they continue on their path those responsible for spurring on this sort of violent response to what amounts to a simple legal matter will be responsible for a bloodbath that we fear none of us will be able to live with.

And what happened? Tea Party Terrorist/Bundy Militia member Jerad Miller killed two officers.
And that's being led by Trump and Carson who are proposing some dangerous new Nazi-esque policies.
