It was a strange time. The Tea Party here in Illinois was a clusterfuck and divided between two warring factions and Glenn Beck was the patron saint of liberty.
Well when it was first started, there was the Tea Party. By the time I moved back to Chicago in early 2010, the Tea Party broke off into two factions: the Tea Party and the Tea Party Patriots. One was lead by a man named Steve Stevlic and the other lead by Catherina Wojtowicz. Stevlic was the more pragmatic of the two while Wojtowicz was a psycho bitch who used the Tea Party Patriots as her personal army. She was even arrested for harassing fellow Tea Party members who disagreed with her. Not long after it was brought to the public's attention that Stevlic was arrested in the late 2000s for soliciting a prostitute. After that, he stepped down and by then the Tea Party movement died. This was around 2012.
John Kass, Mancow Muller, Dan Proft & Amy Jacobson are the best non-leftist political media people in Chicago.
I follow Chicago politics religiously because The Loop has 70-80% of the glitz of NYC but it’s way more affordable for an ordinary DINK couple or upper middle class single person.

It's hard to keep the grifters out of any movement.
What were the Tea Party factions in Illinois?

It was an absolute shit show.
Prostitution? Like that’s even a big deal.

Hopefully Chicago can be turned around.
