Kimberley Strassel over at the Wall Street Journal has some good advice for the “progressive tea party” “resistance” “movement”: don’t go down the path you’re on because it’s based on a fundamentally flawed understanding of the Tea Party. “The Tea Party didn’t really become a force until it started ousting Republicans it didn’t feel represented them,” he told the New York Times. The tea party erupted for a lot of reasons, but a big one was frustration with Washington business as usual. The original tea party was about making conservatives in this center-right country act like conservatives again. The progressive tea party is about making Democrats in this center-right country act like Bernie Sanders.
