This explanation of Tea Party politics is on-the-money. Its dog-whistle politics: blaming people’s problems on others who look different, on foreigners, on religions they don’t understand. Fear and ignorance served up by the rich and powerful to distract conservatives while people like the Koch Brothers and Romney’s Bain Capital are robbing America blind. This is one of the few instances where its historically accurate to say, “Just like the Nazis”.
