Here is the Australian Tea Party website.

Here is their ICONIC PARTY MOVIE Based on Orwell's Animal Farm
http://austeaparty.com.au/web/iconic-movie/

They are so unpopular down here that the movie has been up since 2010 and has under 20 likes.

It's sort of amusing to see the Tea Party looniness getting applied to completely different political world than the USA.

But has the same sort of irrational whining over things like Global Warming being a fraud.

Couple of members talk below that and are confused over why she was banned. Which is funny, as the timing of that picture and the ban reason don't add up. She was reporting a creepy guy who PMed her, who is still unbanned...

I can't see the Tea Party working on a global scale at all. Not that any of the Tea Party views are strictly American, but because the "movement" itself has become so incredibly toxic even to outside observers.

On the plus side if it catches on universally, presumably everyone will be both anti-immigration and anti-emigration, ant it will be a solved problem because everyone stays put in the jingoistic assurance their country is the best country!

I doubt it would have global appeal since it's a uniquely revolting populist movement like the Know Nothing movement.

I'm having a really hard time laughing at TPC. These people really are a problem. They so incredibly stupid, racist, homophobic, and hateful. If somehow, someway, fascism came to the US, they would be fascists. I hate :godwin: but I'm getting to the point that I am just getting frustrated. I know we're nowhere even remotely near fascism, but these people really are frightening. They are consistently rewriting history, treating the Constitution like holy scripture, and looking at the forefathers like Jesus Christ.

I wouldn't worry about them all that much. They're getting all vocal now because they know their kind of America really is going away (edit: not entirely, but slowly) . It's the last gasp of a generation of really, really lovely Americans. That being said, I do worry about them occasionally getting candidates elected.

Like DongsMcMurphy said, their influence is on the wane. Their particular brand of crazy is just getting concentrated as it evaporates into obsolescence. The TPC is a lingering pocket of the stuff in purestrain form.

People say this too often and sadly, it's not really all that true. These pricks have already hammered their ideology and disgusting views into a good portion of the next generation. It's true that it won't be as super widespread as it was in the past, but it's far from being anywhere close to the end of their lovely type staying around to poison politics and public opinion.

I think I've got these people figured out. Their minds work with faith, not facts. It's all religion to them. You can't argue with facts, because they don't see facts, just "viewpoints" or "arguments". Try reasoning with them, using sourced facts, and they dismiss you as irrelevant or ignorant. They demand that YOU disprove THEIR statements - they have no obligation to prove their "self-evident" assertions.

It's actually really rare to see them complain about something Obama has done. There's lots of crazy stuff about how he's a lizard man or whatever, and tons of complaints about things he's "going to do." Any true complaints are usually just stupid poo poo like wearing the wrong shirt or something.

I've noticed something really amazing: they don't argue with being called racists if you don't phrase it like you're accusing them of something or defending Obama.

Pop in on the next Klan rally impeach Obama thread you see, and say something like "Hey instead of this racist bullshit let's focus on things Obama has actually done like the NDAA, he is sentencing American citizens to death with no due process and denying them their right to a fair trial!" And instead of hordes of "I'M NOT A RACIST :qq:" you will get things like "Oh yeah, that, too!"

I really do not know what world you can live in where Michelle Obama is fat. How does one look at a picture of the woman and honestly say to oneself "drat, that Moochelle sure is fat!". It makes no sense. How can they not be utterly ashamed of themselves every time they accuse her of that?

Lance Corperal Steven Mallory is a true patriot. He stayed closeted when DADT was in effect, because he loves America so much. :911:

He is a gay marine who just happens to be super racist. We all have our flaws.

EDIT: I also put in his character stats that he SUPER likes Channing Tatum. Because TBH there are people who admit they're a little gay for Channing Tatum, and LIARS.

The username made me guffaw, so there's that at least.

This place is becoming increasingly indistinguishable from some kind of postmodern participatory art experiment. The legit TPC users have basically developed a parallel language that they can be racist and paranoid in, which seems to be best broken through not with facts and discussion, but with absurd imagery, such as talking helicopters with social media accounts.

Because they're hardwired to hate anything related to the Democrats, liberals in general and specially the Obamas. They look at her and see what she's achieved even though she came from humble beginnings while these morons probably failed at most things in life. It's easier to blame someone else than look at your own self and admit you hosed up.
