This chapter argues that Tea Party advances its agenda using the historic rhetoric, tropes, and frames of right-wing populism, especially the narrative called “producerism.” In right-wing producerist movements, activists tend to perceive their political adversaries through the lens of fear-based dualism (self versus other; us versus them) and demonization of the “other.” They claim their opponents threaten the very existence of the nation. In the Tea Party movement, these views are intertwined with long-standing right-wing conspiracy theories about liberal betrayal. In an effort to mobilize its members, the Tea Party movement largely has adopted fear-based frames and narratives in which liberal and left ideological opponents are demonized and scapegoated as consciously or unconsciously destroying the America of liberty and freedom.
