Not sure I want the tea party to be our inspiration....they spit in John Lewis's face.

This happened in 2017 too when GOPers were hounded over their attempts to rip away people's health care. There's gonna be a lot more of this. People are pissed.

And in 2005 on Social Security. Notably it didn’t happen much in 2021.

I appreciate what you are trying to do here, but ignoring that the tea party was fucking astro-turfed by the same folks that are behind project2025 isn't all that helpful. I'm still calling and fighting and showing up, but it's different.

I work in Alpharetta, and live in Canton, GA.

It's anecdotal for me, but I can assure you there's angry people in Georgia in solid red counties neighboring Roswell. People talking in grocery stores. Complaining about prices at the bar.

Again, anecdotal, but grumbling is getting louder quickly here

The Tea Party started as a K St. project run by Dick Armey and the likes with Koch brothers money.
