A tea party favorite: Why the tea party is dying
Coffee table covers.
A classic.
A favorite.
In some ways, coffee table covers have been the quintessential American table, a table of choice for anyone who’s ever wanted to feel comfortable in their home, or at work, or in the company of friends and family.
In other ways, they’ve been the most divisive, the most contentious, and the most misunderstood.
And as tea party conservatives have tried to make tea party-related events more inclusive and welcoming to minorities and women, the cover has become an issue that has been used to define the conservative movement.
The tea party, in particular, has a longstanding reputation as a place where tea party activists, sometimes in disguise, can find a safe space for their politics.
It’s also a place for conservatives to get together and hold political rallies and gather around a tea party flag.
That was the case on Friday night when tea party attendees in Madison, Wisconsin, marched through the city’s streets, chanting: “No more tea party!”
In other words, the tea partiers are calling on conservatives to stop being the “basket of deplorables.”
This is not the first time conservatives have had to face this.
After the 2012 election, the Tea Party Patriots, an anti-government group that’s been at the center of a number of conservative protests, was forced to apologize for holding a Tea Party rally in 2012.
The group apologized, but its protests had already been called off.
The Tea Party Express was forced off the road in 2010 after it was found that its supporters had made racist remarks and made violent threats.
In 2014, the conservative group American Crossroads was forced into a temporary cease-and-desist order after it held a rally at a Virginia college.
And a Tea Partier Alliance for Freedom was forced from its Facebook page because its members had been caught making racist and sexist comments about black women.
Tea Party groups have been trying to make it harder for conservative groups to hold events at coffee table-style covers, though.
The groups behind a number a of them have gone so far as to create their own “standards of comfort” to guide what types of cover are acceptable and which are not.
But as the Tea Partiers have pushed back, they have been met with fierce opposition from conservative leaders and tea party organizations that say the covers are inherently offensive and have become an outlet for white supremacy and hatred.
The conservative American Conservative Union says tea party covers are a “political distraction” and an “anti-constitutional attempt to silence our political opponents.”
The Tea Partying Tea Party Alliance, which describes itself as a “conservative political movement, advocacy, and advocacy organization,” has said the covers violate its code of ethics and that they also violate the constitutional right to free speech.
The American Family Association has also been critical of the covers, calling them a “misogynistic, homophobic, and racist caricature of the conservative values and beliefs.”
And the Tea Parties for Trump campaign has been criticized for its decision to include a photo of the Confederate flag on its shirts.
It is also not the only group that has taken aim at the covers.
In August, the American Conservative Network released a video titled “It’s Time for Tea Party Conservatives to Stop Using the Tea Leaves to Mock Black Americans,” and the video quickly went viral.
The video showed Tea Partyers discussing their politics with the help of a Tea Leaf, a tea leaf with a red background that represents a leaf of the American flag.
“It was an opportunity to see the world through the eyes of a conservative,” said one participant, who said the video “showed how the tea leaves are the window to our nation’s past, present, and future.”
And there are some who argue that the covers actually have a positive impact on the community.
The author of a recent book about the tea-party movement, The Tea Parties: How They Changed America, said that while the covers have not changed the demographics of the tea parties, they are an important reminder of who they are and what they stand for.
“There are some very big Tea Party families,” said Michael Gerson, the author of the book.
“But it is also a very diverse Tea Party movement.”
“And there are also a lot of people who are really interested in the tea and who really do not want to think about the history behind the tea.”
He added, “And you know, there are people in the Tea party movement that are so upset with the Tea leaves and so upset that people are taking away their heritage.”
The author and the author’s husband have been involved in the movement for decades, but it wasn’t until they started their own tea-tree business in 2014 that they were able to start receiving support from the TeaPartiers.
“We were able in 2014 to have our own shop because we had the TeaParty Express back then,” said Brian Gerson.
“So we were able then to get our own flag in the shop and we were also able to do it
