The Influence of the Tea Party Movement

Introduction The United States is a typical example of a political two party system. (See McDonald / Samples, 2006: 18). Republicans and Democrats ... But in early 2009, a new influential nonpartisan player emerged at the political stage. The tea party movement successfully influenced the 2010 House of Representatives election and the Senate elections. Their main position could be found in their "American Contract" (Tea Party Movement, 2010) and played an important role in Republican and democratic campaigns (...).

The uniqueness of the tea party movement is that it is operated through a decentralized grass-roots network, but maintains its influence in the traditional power domain. The campaign continues to use modern media (ie social media and online forums), but we are definitely looking at our traditional political system as the best way to achieve its mission and goals. Regardless of whether you agree with the tea party values, I think it can serve as a model for grassroots success, and participatory democracy is a representative democracy It is integrated with many years of form. The success of this movement is the length of time that it remains valid - there is no doubt that this movement is still valid in 2017, about seven years after its founding. In order to achieve similar success, future grassroots movements should try to reproduce the three important aspects of the tea party: devoted platform, core value and motivation.

Ignored aspects of tea party success are its distributed and open source brands. The party does not belong to any politicians or organizations and belongs to a conservative movement. This method made the tea party very popular and 17% of Americans believe that even if there is no institutional "party" or voting it is a party member. The dream of reconstruction is to introduce open source progressive weight in 2011, but this project is not to organize the general public but to provide the common identity and framework to existing institutions It has a purpose.
