Surely I’m late to this mockery — it’s only recently come on my radar — but the GOP is rallying people behind the term “Tea Party”. That they’re the new “Boston Tea Party”.
Seriously. What The Fuck?
If I remember my history correctly, the Boston Tea Party was the name given to a gang of citizens who protested against taxation by dressing up like a racial minority, trespassing on the property of big business, looting, and then destroying the looted material.
The Republicans have a name for this sort of person, and it’s not “Republican” or “Patriot”. It’s “Terrorist”. Seriously: if a bunch of smokers disguised themselves, broke into a Philip Morris distribution warehouse, stole all the cigarettes, and burned them in the streets as protest, what would the Republicans say about them? That they’re heroes fighting against usurious tobacco taxes? Or that they’re “with the enemy”? Granted, the Repubs would be likely to blame the “fisco-terrorism” on racial minorities regardless of the costumes, so that much tracks.
It’s fucking surreal. It takes me back to Hillary “cleaning blood off the floor”.
But read Beardy well: the Republicans were looking this absurd right before they swept both houses of Congress, that time also with the help of Rush Limbaugh. Booga booga. but seriously, wtf?
