Re: Southeast Asian looking at no. 16
(Anonymous) 2012-10-14 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)The Tea Party started out as a far-right-wing protest against government regulation of business that was outside of parties. It originated when a guy called Rick Santelli went on this rant about how awesome stock traders are and how terrible the government is for blaming them for things, and then this protest movement sprang up out of that (a lot of people accuse it of being... uh... aided along by money from, and organized by, super-wealthy conservatives). So it started as a super-conservative economic protest, and as time went on, it just became a general term for the organized far-right-wing of American politics, and it also became associated with the Republican party, because it made sense for both sides to do so - the Republicans extended a hand because it got their votes and their support for the Republican party, and the Tea Party got a quick and easy path to power. And since then they're basically tried to remake the Republican party in their own image, and expel anyone insufficiently right wing.
So, yeah. It's just the organized far-right-wing (although not explicitly nationalist or racist in the same way that a far-right-wing group might be in other places - although there are a lot of racists in it, it's not a hate group, it's not the KKK or neo-nazis - they're not Actual Fascists).
