That cartoon that Musk made famous is from Colin Wright, a blogger who considered himself a leftist until gender politics reared itself. Yet Musk and Wright both seemed to forget about the Tea Party revolution and how it morphed into the birther & then Trump 'movements'. His blog's title is 'Reality's Last Stand' - a title of bracing shamelessness considering its political roots. He's quite a fit for Musk, surely.

But the Tea Party itself was actually started as more of a mainstream and sensible movement which gave us politicians like Justin Amash. Who, like this cartoon, suddenly found themselves out of alignment with their party. Both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have moved away from center: a trend since the creation of CSPAN, I would argue.
