Hell yea they're pissed. You don't stand up to crazy, you do what it says...or else.

They want the Government on its knees. They want it gasping, because that's the only way they perceive it can be...fixed. Break it to fix it. The Tea Party swept in in 2010 and the only thing of actual note they championed was de-funding of practically everything, and slaying that dragon the ACA...oh, and all things associated with impeaching/derailing/mocking President Obama.

They sure didn't try to bust balls on campaign finance reform, or term limits, or Jobs bills that penalized the shit out of Corporations for sending Jobs abroad, or infrastructure repair, or a REAL Jobs bill at all, or raising our import fees, or backing Elizabeth Warren's efforts to reign in shitty, gouging business practices, or backing a return of Glass-Steagall (fuck that weak ass Volcker crap), or a bunch of other things...practical things that would make a difference in the short and long term.

Nope...they're no different than those they complain about.  They let the lobbyists tell them what to do and they do it. They let the think tanks and groups with agenda's tell them what to do and they do it.  They want a Plutocracy where the Government is the thrall of Capitalism, the most monied, not the average citizen. Because *making it* means you MUST be better than everyone else, smarter, more in tune...so why shouldn't you listen to and do everything they say? They want every safety net that's been paid into, funneled through the hands of private enterprise. The Government's primary concern should be the military...and that's pretty much it. 

You don't make a living wage? Fuck you, you should have been a CEO.  Everyone's a CEO? Fuck you, you should of been a King. Everyone's a King? Fuck you, you should of been an Emperor.  And don't think for one second they wouldn't defend the NSA if any one else (namely ultra-conservative) was at the helm other than President Obama.

Principles forged from spite aren't principles, they're spite masquerading as a value. This also applies to fear and anger that form your agendas. Worry is a long way from fear and agitation is a long way from anger...but they don't see a difference, it's all the same thing.
