::::::Yes, I think the Tea Party is better described as a revitalization of the conservative movement. After the GOP establishment became cozied in with Washington, conservatives decided it was time to renew conservatism to what it had been. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 21:33, 4 April 2017 (EDT)

:::::::There are vast, wide, regional differences within it. While characterizing it conservative may be true, mistaking it as Republican would be in error -- ''particularly'' in the South. The older people young speak of are traditional Democrats, of that sort whose parents voted for FDR and Truman, 'the forgotten man.' Hillbillies, rednecks, the 'Bubba vote' that Clinton was popular with. ''In fact'' I would argue [[Dick Armey]] of Texas, founder of Freedom Works and the Tea Party (digression: 'Freedom Works' is an anti-communist slogan meaning 'freedom works, communism does not'), - whose nolonger associated with either group - Armey of Texas founded the Tea Party so Southerners could vote against Democrats without referring to themselves with the "R" word.

:::::::It is easy to see what happened here. The GOP Congressional coalition fell apart with the resignation of Boehner. While Ryan secured a majority of his caucus to be elected Speaker, he never had a majority in the House (it's a weakness of our system the designers never foresaw. By contrast, the UK House of Commons Speaker holds a more nuetral position. The power of the Speakership & Senate Majority Leader rests in scheduling the agenda). Last summer RNC Chairman Reince Priebus negotiated a truce between the warring factions - traditional heartland Republicans led by Ryan, and the Southern redneck faction supposedly led by Trump. Trump entrusted the legislative agenda to Ryan, which is his job anyway. Ryan delivered the votes of his faction, but Trump never delivered his followers, revealing his collassal ignorance of legislative politics. He's the quintessential opposite of Obama who served as a city councilman, state senator, and Senator, butvas Sarah Palin rightfully pointed out, she had more executive experience than he did.

:::::::As of now the split remains within the GOP, with the traditional Midwest heartlanders on side, the Southern redneck Boll Weevills on the other, and an inexperienced New York RINO (the smallest faction in the GOP) trying to bring them together. Trump would do best to read FDR's playbook. And simply cause I love history so much, let me point out thr differences between these two major factions warring in the GOP remarkably resemble the size, strength, regional affiliation, and cultural background of the warring factions of the Civil War.
