Yes, there are similarities to a point. I just found it better to support a movement that was trying to end inequality & poverty and one that opposed all the institutional racism that we had grown up with. The movement brought people of all kinds, religions, sexs & sexual orientations, income levels... across a broad spectrum of the electorate. I just can't see the Tea Party in a similar light as that. But all political movements have certain things in common, whether they be right or left. I still recall when the Left was "well organized" back in the 60's and early 70's, and the mistakes we made, and how the Left's position prompted the development of the "Moral Majority" movement & a long period of conservative control of Congress & the Presidency as a backlash. It seems to me that the pendulum is always swinging back and forth in America, from Left to Right. My thinking is that the Republican Party would be wise right now to acknowledge that the views of their extreme elements is very troubling to Centerist/Moderate/undecided US voters, while a more conciliatory message would be likely to capture more support.
As much as it pains me to offer my thoughts about how Republicans can WIN elections in the future, I think I should shut up and keep these opinions to myself.
