Personally I've observed a tendency of people voting for the ones fucking them deepest and hardest. Not only in America.
It's all about the word dressing and general ignorance running rampant. Give them a good scare of the other side, play to their prejudices and you have them in a tea bag (pun intended).
With the greatest irony, I'll invoke the collapse of Communism as an example of what I expect to happen with the Teabaggers.
Communism collapsed when the people finally realized that the grand worker's paradise that was supposed to be ushered in by the revolution never materialized. No matter how much propaganda you bombard people with, no matter how much you indoctrinate them, eventually, reality catches up and people realize the ideology they've blindly followed isn't delivering on the promised goods.
*Now take a moment to savor the irony of me invoking the fall of Communism*
So to it will have to be sooner or later even with the dumbest of GOP followers. "Hey, the wealth isn't trickling down". Sure, they should have realized it when I did but some people are more reluctant than I am to admit the ideology they once adopted is bullshit.
That's, by the way, what makes religion uniquely dangerous. Unlike with dangerous political or economic ideologies, the proof isn't in the pudding. There's no reality check because the benefits are only realized after you die and can't come back.
