Their events have a surreal quality to them.
They spout nonsensical slogans and decry minor issues. They broadcast rabid hatred of policies that do them no harm. They carry hastily misspelled signs against issues that would help them. Their viciousness is too overblown for such minor complaints. Their lies are transparent and silly. It's like really bad acting that comes across as funny. Yet, they don't mean to be funny, so it comes across as merely sad.
It all has an overacted fake feel to it.
And the reason it looks and feels so absolutely phony and overblown is because it is organized, advertised, and funded by Corporate America. Corporate America has no real understanding of genuine political movements. The only experience they have in that regard is how to stop progress and prevent the success of grassroots movements.
So when they try to orchestrate a fake movement, when they attempt to advertise a political group into existence, they are only able to bring out the hate-filled racists, homophobic and selfish money grubbers.
As each successive tea-bagging event gets more polished and better organized, the artificial, exaggerated feel gets worse and worse.
The tea-baggers will never wake up because they are not a real movement. Some people will change out, some will see the failure of the events, but they will never wake up. If they can't see and feel the over-polished and overblown essential falseness surrounding them, they have no capacity to wake up.
