In current Internet usage I have never seen "Tea partier" used once in anything except a derisive way, outside of Tea Partiers calling themselves members of the Tea Party. Much how SJW call themselves SJW's. Unironically.

The reason you see "SJW" used in such derisive ways is because many people hate SJW's. Just like many people hate Tea Partiers. The meaning hasn't been changed but the connotations have been co-opted to mean something else.

When I call someone a Tea Partier or Tea Party Member it's never a compliment but that doesn't mean I should call them something else if they identify as and call themselves a Tea Partier. Unless you have a suggestion on how to refer to the Tea Party without the words "Tea Party"?

I can either use their term `SJW` or I can use another accurate term `totalitarian cultural Marxists`.
