Tim Kreider Quotes
Hadn't Been Able To Avoid Hearing About The Tea Party, A Recrudescence Of The Far Right Sooner Than I Would've Hoped. Depending On Whom You Ask, The Tea Party Formed Either As A Spontaneous Grassroots Protest Against The Government's Massive Interventions In The Economy After The Financial Collapse Of 2008, An Hysterical Backlash Against Our First Black President, Or Just A Hasty Rebranding Of The Republican Party Now That The Name Republican Had Taken On The Same Stigma As The Pinto, DC-10, And Other Products That Reliably Self-destruct. Their Platform Was The Usual Republican Wish List - Cut Taxes, Gut The Government, Repeal The Last Century And Revoke The Social Contract - And Happened To Coincide With The Financial Interests Of Their Billionaire Backers. They Were Widely Regarded, On The Left,* As Dingbats. But Today I Was Going To Resist The Impulse To Sneer And Feel Superior And Instead Try, For Once, To Listen.
