It's the left's dirty little secret: Ever since the purely organic Tea Party movement among conservatives during the Obama administration, they have been green with envy, trying to figure out how to initiate one of their own. They have tried several times over several issues with no success. But now, they think they have hit paydirt in the backlash over Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Once again, with the help of the media, protesters in front of Tesla dealerships are portrayed as just a group of concerned Americans who want to make their voices heard. But as has been long suspected, nothing could be further from the truth. 

Except the Tea Party was a movement devoted to cutting spending and shrinking the government.

The far left is revolting against the Dems and pressuring them to embrace extremist views like judicial coups, keeping terrorists in the US, allowing men in women's sports, and…

Conservative Seattle radio host Jason Rantz completely nails what is really going on, not just in Seattle but across the country, as "professional activism dressed up in grassroots drag." One of the groups behind the protests is "Indivisible." The Bellevue, Washington chapter of the group openly states their goal thusly: "Protesting Tesla is part of Indivisible’s national strategy to tie Musk and his business interests to his corrupt efforts to dismantle the government." Liberal media outlets like "The Seattle Times" are making veiled references to "organizers" but are leaving out a few vital tidbits, like the fact that George Soros and other Democrat mega-donors are funding some of the events.

Other rent-a-mob participants include groups like Democratic Socialists of America and a group called "Troublemakers." Rantz's point is that many of these groups overlap, depending on the cause du jour. The same familiar faces show up for anti-Musk Tesla protests, anti-Israel pro-Hamas rallies, and anti-police protests. For example, Valerie Costa is a co-founder of Troublemakers, which is a radical environmentalist group that spun off from another group. Costa also worked with another group called Community Alliance for Global Justice. It's all one big radical leftist family.

Talk now of a 'Democrat Tea Party'.

Frustrated Dems want to stop the removal of their Socialist benefits, gender ideology, open borders.

They really believe those are majority opinions.

They haven't grasped that their previous backing wasn't organic.

Not only that, but…

Rantz goes on to point out that all of these groups are not only well-funded but well-connected whenever the rent-a-mob needs to be mobilized. Much of the technical communication apparatus is run by a group called "The Disruption Project." More proof that the rent-a-mob just switches out their accessories based on the protest: The Disruption Project operated a text message number with the keyword "MUSK" for Tesla Takedown information. However, a few weeks ago, the keyword was "CEASEFIRE" at the same number for anti-Israel messages. Rantz's point — no new groups, just different causes.  

As if we didn't already know, the left is much more organized than the media would have you think. But like all groups, they have free-lancers, those lone social justice warriors who take matters into their own hands. RedState has been all over the attacks on Tesla owners, which now appear to have escalated to the next level in physical assaults and the Albuquerque GOP Headquarters being set on fire. Is the end goal for someone to be killed? It seems like a valid question.

The Tea Party truly was a completely organic movement. I know because I was there. Average Americans gathered and raised their voices to tell their elected officials what they wanted and what they didn't want, and if those elected officials weren't on board with that, they would find someone who was. They didn't destroy businesses; they didn't set things on fire; they didn't physically attack those they disagreed with. 

The Tea Party also celebrated America. It's why we can be assured that a leftist Tea Party will never happen.

"You're going to see this analogy a lot, that Democrats want their own Tea Party. Except the Tea Party was demanding the Republican Party do the things they'd said they'd do but had not done. On the other hand, the Democrat Party has already embraced the insane, anti-American,…
