(borrowed for the most part from Joko104:
Do people have reason to generally not like Tea Party conservative white people
I don't mean as individuals, but in general? I can see a case being made of it, and here is why I can see people feeling that way.
1. The Tea party Conservative white community is extremely monolithic voting block that refuses to respect or work with other politicians and even actively tries to oust all those who do not 100% agree with them.
2. It seems every instance of what is perceived as injustice if a Tea Party-er is involved is instantly declared due to discrimination against their Tea Party membership and against all Tea Party members which form a monolithic block of opinion.
3. The spokespersons (self assigned) for the Tea Party "voice" are race-baiters and most are blantantly racist themselves, they are also very intolerant to those who are not in their voting block
4. Those spokespersons only care of injustice towards Tea Party whites, but demand everyone will bow to their pity party.
5. Tea party and conservative spokespersons (self assigned) incessantly hold pity-parties - and expect to get things in return for it.
6. Those same Tea Party spokespersons make it clear they despise all colored people and all those who are politically to their left.
7. Their spokespersons constantly threatening violence, predicting rebellion, seceding and protests if they don't get their way - but again only about Tea Party issues.
So it is unreasonable for people to have negative feelings towards Tea Party whites in general?
With constant raging about the evil colored, Latino and non Tea Party people, it seems predictable there would be raging about the evil Tea Party people in return. Most people don't like being called names and insulted all the time - despite being told freedom of speech demands they remain silent and even accept being called everything evil under the sun.
Personally, I don't have a dog in this fight. I am not an American but I do see how political radicalism in the US is causing extreme gridlock and lack of decisive power in just about every issue. And as the US is the world leader in both economic and overall power, this gridlock is causing lack of economic growth and has made the idea of compromise completely on the back burner. I have been discussing various issues on numerous websites (Terry Schiavo, US politics, Natalee Holloway etc.) and have seen how political differences of opinions have grown out into full blown wars with the growth of the Tea Party and the growing intolerance towards other political views (extreme liberals are also guilty of this but the tea party is a much more vocal and visible divisive factor in the US at the moment).
You see, this kind of discussion can be also had about political movements like the Tea party.
