The return of conservative populism: The rise of the Tea Party and its impact on US politics

The return of conservative populism: The rise of the Tea Party and its impact on US politics - 2012.
8
The emergence of the conservative Tea Party movement, within weeks of Democratic president Barack Obama taking office in early 2009, has been the most surprising recent development in US politics. This text discusses the rise of the Tea Party, the nature of the movement, its popular base of support, its tense relationship with the “Republican Establishment,” its impact on the 2010 midterm election campaign, and its future prospects. I argue that the Tea Party is the latest in a long line of populist social movements—of both the right and the left—that emerge periodically in US politics, particularly in times of economic hardship. These movements tend to be short-lived, but they generally leave a lasting impact on US politics and public policy.
