The Tea Party was the prototype of what the GOP would become. The party believed that they could control the radicals for their own purposes. They should have stomped them down. Instead they ended up in a hostile takeover situation. Now the GOP politicians are terrified of being deselected in their own electorates so they must engage in theatrical MAGA performances.

The Tea Party never went away, they evolved like a successful virus.
