TEA Party (Porvenir)

In 2053, the TEA Party won its first presidential election with Franklin Smithfield.

Platform

 * Abortion: Abortion for the most part became a non-issue by the mid-21st Century. The religious-right in the party pressed to keep anti-abortion a critical element of the party, with minister David Platt running in the party primaries in 2048 on the issue alone.
 * Biotics: The religious-right minority of the party adamantly opposes human biotics, though the party platform officially takes no position.
 * Civil Rights: American conservatives were forced to soften their anti-Hispanic and anti-LGBTQIA ideals by the late 2030s, and instead turned to raising questions about Chinese and Muslim refugees. The party was noted for also taking what was considered a automatonophobic stance during the Android rights movement.
 * Crime: The party supports increased funding for law enforcement and expansion of private prisons, also staunchly backing capital punishment.
 * Economics: Free-market economic policies are a major point for the TEA Party. Even when America embraced Democratic-Socialism and deregulated free-market capitalism was largely on a downswing across the globe, the party remained the definitive pro-big business party in the U.S
 * Education: The party took a hard stance against the anti-homeschooling policies of the Braun, Cena, and Goldberg administrations. AntiAndroid.jpg
 * Environmentalism: When global oil reserves began to deplete, the party stood by their support of oil and gas, calling for the U.S to push China mining operations out of Antarctica and supported the mining of moons and planets in the Milky Way. Eventually however, pressured by donors from the nuclear power industry, the party instead adopted nuclear energy as part of their platform.
 * Foreign Policy: Prioritized defense spending is a major issue in the TEA Party. The party supported bombastic interventionism during World War III and the Resource Wars.
 * Gun Control: The TEA Party staunchly supports the right keep and bear arms.
