One thing I'd bear in mind though is that in Germany people voted for the Nazis because the "traditional" parties were completely deadlocked and unable to achieve anything. They voted for the Nazis because they thought they'd get things done. They became disenchanted with Democracy and chose to vote in Despotism.
Doesn't that kind of describe the Tea Party to a large extent?
