I never really got how people thought that an extreme version of the Democratic Party of Republican Party are totalitarian. I mean I never hear about the Tea Party calling on installing a dictatorship, sure there's racism(mostly subtle), cultural conflict(mostly reactionary to things like gay marriage), and support for free markets. An extreme version of the Democratic Party is not Stalin nor Mao. Also, that's the great thing about having a two-party system: you don't get tyranny or at least not dystopia type stuff. I mean we've had democracy a long time now I don't see communist or fascist parties winning any where in the world. Especially countries with two-party systems.
Moreover, the Tea-party is hardly a "third party" it was a successful re-labeling of the activist heart of the Republican Party after 8-years of Bush. And for all the crazies you saw on CNN or read about online there were millions of Americans that didn't dress in those stupid tea-bag hats, wave signs in the street, and call Obama a socialist tyrant for giving people heath insurance. It's the 1960's all over again with the media failing at it's job. The 60's were hardly filled with long haired hippies running around. America is not Berkeley, the 60's were more like the 50's.
Also the KKK supported the Democratic Party and the Democratic Party was the more anti-imperialist party.
