Handy Wallet Map Proves Tea Party Is Cooked

Ever wish you had a little piece of paper in your wallet that stops a Tea Partier in mid-sentence, particularly when that sentence is about The Real America^TM?

Well, lookee here! Now you do.

Today’s New York Times has a nifty interactive feature, detailing the ideological makeup of the House of Representatives, demarcated into voting blocs. The recent end-the-shutdown vote count provides the raw data.

And it’s compelling as all get-down.

We just mashed up the plots of the rabid defund-Obamacare gang rubbing up against the “core Democratic” House districts. And it’s above. Feel extremely free to clip and carry.

See the distribution? Yes, you do. There are a hundred conclusions to make, but we suspect you’ll make the accurate ones.

The Real America^TM. The Tea Party doesn’t play a meaningful role, viewed through a sober lens, now does it.
