The original Boston Tea Party happened long before teabagging became sexual slang.
And btw, y’all on the Left are gonna get your butts handed to you if you believe that this is astroturfing.

It’s astroturfing.

And the original Boston Tea Party was about ‘taxation without representation’— not a bunch of lunatics pitching a fit and screaming that they ‘want their country back’ because their candidate lost the election.

Democracy. It means sometimes, the other guy wins.

The kind of organised disruptive tactics happening at townhalls— screaming and interrupting the speakers, shouting them down before they even answer— is the opposite of democracy.
