Two words you never hear anymore.

[Grins]

Tea. Party.

Gone. Completely gone from the daily discourse. They showed up a few WEEKS after "that man" was inaugurated, and now nothing. It's almost like they were created out of thin air for a singular (or sinister) purpose*, and then to be erased from the national memory.

Ain't that weird?



* To keep fear alive.

[spooky3]

1. Replaced by "Republican Party." Nt

[Sherman A1]

2. Precisely

[G_j]

9. This

[Zoonart]

3. Thats because they have taken over the organism and

mutated the entire GOP party into the Trumpists.

[TwilightZone]

4. Yep, manufactured by big oil, big tobacco, and the Koch brothers.

Certainly served its purpose, further solidifying the GOP as an extremist party.

[2naSalit]

5. Not just to keep fear alive but to destroy

any expectation of civility.

They were the ones who started those shouting matches at town halls and other rude behavior in public places.

[jr1118x]

6. They got what they wanted

They got their tax cut, that was one of the primary issues, as far as reducing the deficit I think that only matters if the programs are helping the common people or not.

[C_U_L8R]

7. T is for Trump

Take away Trump and they got nothing.
They sold out their principles and beliefs
(as despicable as they were) for a toxic cult
of personality. When Trump is defeated,
leaving a great vacuum, the GOP will collapse
under the weight of its own self-serving and
corruption. 'When' is the big question.

[dalton99a]

8. They were a creation of Charles and David Koch

wholly owned and operated

[Tommy_Carcetti]

10. I was going to say "Sarah Palin."

Perhaps for those same purposes.

[mshasta]

11. President Obama is gone

and tea party is not longer need it,
the gop and trump had unprotected sex and they birth a mutated creature called MAGA

[ooky]

12. Yep. All those "fiscal conservatives"

no longer care about government debt.

[RT Atlanta]

13. please call them the 'tea baggers'

that's how they initially referred to their 'group' and I want to be sure and use their own self-described and preferred term.

I would also add to this point of fear-mongering the "immigrant caravan" that only magically appears leading up to elections.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

14. Also "compassionate conservatism"

Such an oxymoron

[Baked Potato]

15. A Rat Fuck mini operation, all grass rooty and everything.

[wishstar]

16. When Dem wins WH, they will start back on pretext of fighting wasteful spending and deficits

Maybe under a different name or maybe just resume old name even though they didn't care a bit about the tremendous deficit caused by the tax cuts and increased spending under Trump
