If I were a wealthy and influential liberal (for a day), what would I
do
about the popularity of the tea party movement? They came on
like
gangbusters, had no visible leadership which could be attacked and
stuck
to an agenda that was simple, direct and very effective. If they
could
hold it together for a few election cycles, America could experience
a
reversal of the misfortunes of the past 4-5 decades. Several
strategies
come to a liberal mind.
Get them actively involved in the
inept projects of the Grand Old Party
(GOP). That's right, make republicans
out of them. Give them a few titles,
a chairmanship or two in some of the
lower-level organizations but make
sure they do not occupy positions of
influence in state or national
politics. If they advance too fast, give them
the Boehner or Tillis
treatment.
Join them and convince them to
"enlarge" their agenda, thereby watering
down the critical issues that
enabled them to connect with so many voters
in the first place. There are
endless possibilities in education,
regulation, bureaucracy and all sorts of
divisive issues. Anything to take
their "eye off the ball" in the middle of
the game.
And, finally, play to the natural weaknesses of all
men.
A fascination with the "quick fix solutions", egos and
"follow-the-leader"
personality cults. Offer them leaders and spokesmen. Get
other
organizations to offer financial assistance and seminars. Once under
the
same umbrella, they can then be smeared with the same brush. Whatever
we
do, we must destroy their independent nature.
Once their agenda is
diluted, detractors will either fade away or become
divisive. Movements like
the tea party can best be controlled if we can
keep them within the confines
of our current political structure, where
many of their activities can be
diverted and controlled.
Of course, I am not a liberal and I would never
implement such tactics.
