president, citizen of the world, we're losing to
China, we're losing to Japan, we're losing our jobs,

in 2009 with the rise of the Tea Party movement,
whose own attempt to 'make America great again'
focused on constitutional restoration. Much of the
media sneered at that movement, using the sexual
innuendo of 'tea baggers' and dismissing critiques of
Obama’s Affordable Care Act as naïve. The Tea
Party movement arose spontaneously, without any
centralized structure." And because of this it
scared the hell out of people and it seemed to be
dissolving on its own.
There's no leader whose fortunes we can track, so
the Tea Party seems to have dissolved on its
own. But the anger and the sense that some things
are not right has not gone away. It's still out there
effervescing and soon to break through the surface
if it hasn't already.
