  > Does a flaw in a system have to be relative to another system, or can it be a flaw in isolation? I think talking about flaws in political systems without any point of reference is navel-gazing and not very interesting. Kind of like talking about whether the Flash or Superman would win in a fight. > How does that show resilience, numerous Tea Party members have been elected Even $80 billion between the Koch Brothers can't buy the election of proper statist libertarians, much less railroad through actual policies consistent with the ideology. The Tea Party is libertarian ideas watered down to the point of almost being unrecognizable. In the end, it's just a bunch of Republicans running on a platform of lower taxes, less regulation, and, inexplicably, conservative social issues--ideas that have always had tremendous traction among the majority.
