    Arguably, the actual conservative party died in like 2012-2014, and the Tea Party has just been wearing their skin ever since. Guess Americans can only demand more from their elected leaders if the demand is to be more racist.

      Yup! It took them like 10+ years before they managed to get a presidential candidate too. but they immediately got into the legislative wings, it was already well underway in Bush’s second term. Hell, they were powerful enough to thrust Palin on McCain when he ran.
