THE POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT’S WORST NIGHTMARE ALLIANCE:

Flashback: A black Tea Party? How Black Lives Matter echoes the right.

I can’t find it now, but I remember a heartwarming video where Black Lives Matter people showed up at a Tea Party rally — or maybe it was the other way around — and they found lots of common ground.

BLM as a movement is a scam — and the Tea Party wound up attracting a lot of grifters too — but the underlying core of both has something real.

UPDATE: From the comments: “While Left vs. Right is still a real dichotomy, increasingly the division is between the elites and the commoners. The division isn’t about just money and position, but also outlook. The elites want power and control, and they will do all they can to get and keep it. And as time goes on, they become more nakedly open about it. Very often, the mask doesn’t just slip, it’s tossed aside. This is why Trump got elected in the first place, and also why they worked so hard to destroy him.”

BALTIMORE TEA PARTY? Businesses Refuse to Pay Taxes as Public Safety Crashes.

The “Baltimore sage” H. L. Mencken said “For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.” And so it was with defunding the police and its ideological companion, critical race theory. Defunding police was a simple-minded attempt to grapple with complex problems, not all of which are real and not all of which have government solutions. Critical race theory is just as simple-minded, and as toxic as Baltimore’s Inner Harbor occasionally becomes.

The last thing Baltimore needed was to have its police defunded. But the mayor and city council followed the far-left activist agitators off that cliff in 2020, and homicide in Harm City shot up.

Businesses in historic and trendy Fell’s Point are feeling the effects directly, and after the city has failed to listen and do its job, they’re fighting back with a tax revolt according to WBAL.

Call it the Baltimore Tea Party.

Flashback: The Coming Middle-Class Anarchy.

DANA LOESCH: A New Era for Me Begins. I spotted her at the Quincy, IL Tea Party in 2009 and knew she was going to be a star. Got her on PJTV for a while, before she moved on to bigger things. She’s a star now!

QUOTE OF THE DAY: The Tea Party Movement.

It was hopeful and enthusiastic, open to anyone – and the Left treated it like the KKK merged with radical anarchists. The Republicans took their support and generally did nothing.

So, people tried something different. Romney was the ultimate nice-guy candidate. Unimpeachable ethics, a proven record of success, and moderate credentials. The Left chewed him up and spat him out. If Abe Lincoln or George Washington rose from the grave and ran for president, they would get the same treatment.

Thus, after you send in friendly folks with SUV and pickups, then a philanthropist in a limo, might as well send in a tank. Trump refuses to just take it like a proper Republican; he’s not a model of civility and noble citizenship, he’s a brawler. This is why TEA Party conservatives are flocking to his banner.

THE PRESS WAS ALWAYS CAREFUL TO DESCRIBE TEA PARTY RALLIES AS “OVERWHELMINGLY WHITE,” BUT NEVER DOES THAT WITH THE CLIMATE RALLIES THAT ARE FAR LESS DIVERSE: The Unbearable Whiteness Of Climate Protest.

For white progressives, climate change is a unique issue in which racial guilt plays little to no role. Other issues such as police brutality, income inequality, and even women’s rights and access to abortion are steeped in what they perceive as the racist foundation of our country. On these issues, white protesters in the post-Occupy age feel they bear no small amount of collective guilt. But on climate change, for once, they can be the victim, not just the ally.

And man, are they enjoying it. This is the moment for angry, young white people not only to be angry, but to actually be oppressed. It is their own future that they believe is being stripped from them by failure to accept that if we don’t act in the next eight minutes, all is lost. It is their lives that amorphous and evil global corporate and government powers are endangering.

Finally, they can express righteous indignation not just in support of the rights and lives of others, but to protect themselves. It is their Malcolm X in blue jeans moment, a thrilling opportunity to stick it to the man, whoever that might be. The poster child is not a murdered black youth, but a young girl from Sweden astride a solar-powered boat defending the future of lily-white protesters everywhere.

You have fun kids. Then go get jobs and worry about something important.

LEFTY GROUPS ARE ALWAYS FAKE, THAT’S WHY THEY ASSUMED THE TEA PARTY WAS ASTROTURF: Investigation: Anti- ICE “Never Again Action” Not The Spontaneous Grassroots Group It Claims To Be. “NAA is a repackaging of the same activists who organize with far-left, anti-Israel groups such as IfNotNow (INN), American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), and CodePink. There is every reason to believe that these obsessive anti-Israel activists have a hidden agenda: to insert themselves at the forefront of the immigration issue to hijack the movement and turn it against Israel, as has been done repeatedly since the Ferguson riots in 2014. NAA is not just astroturf, it’s a deception.”

Like I said.

OBVIOUSLY A REAL TEA PARTY TYPE: The Dayton Shooter Was The Lead Singer Of A “Pornogrind” Metal Band. “Another dime a dozen Ohio grind dude who caped progressive politics while treating women like shit.” In other words, a typical progressive dude.

UPDATE: From the comments:

The hilarious level of self-unawareness is amazing. The first tweet highlighted, paraphrasing “He’s not a leftist, he had bad attitude towards women.”

Dude, that is the definition of male feminist.

The reason that so many feminists have a jaundiced view of men, which really surprises both conservative men and women, is because these feminists are interacting with leftist douchebags. Matt Lauer, Leftist, rape room with a buzzer. The list goes on. These are the men that feminists see. They’re not interacting with Mike Pence kind of guys.

Nope.

TEA PARTY: SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK.

MARK ELLIS: Tea Party Memories: The Way It Was.

It was a noble movement, choked to death by hucksters, establishment Republicans, and Obama’s IRS.

I TOO WAS INVOLVED IN THE TEA PARTY AND IN OTHER MALIGNED MOVEMENTS, AND KNOW THAT THE DEMOCRATS DON’T EVEN UNDERSTAND THE PHENOMENON. AFTER ALL, ALL THEY HAVE FOR GRASS ROOTS IS ASTROTURF:  Self-Organizing Community.
