I don't know. It's not directed at you but I think anyone who disagrees with a movement would always find ways and angles to smear it.

Nonetheless, many of what had been advocated by the Tea Party movement-- both social and economic policies-- are still visibly present and implemented by MAGA. So I think even with astroturfing, the goals of those involved in Tea Party had their way.
