The Tea Party Movement

The Tea Party Movement is a political movement that emerged in 2009, mainly in the United States, advocating for limited government, reduced taxes, and fiscal conservatism. It responded to concerns about economic inequality, government spending, and debt following the financial crisis. The movement gained momentum through grassroots activism, emphasizing personal responsibility and traditional values. While it is not a political party, it influenced the Republican Party's platform, encouraging candidates to adopt more conservative positions. The Tea Party's rise signified a shift toward more ideologically driven politics and greater emphasis on individual liberties and fiscal discipline.
