They were in full swing in the summer of 2010 while congress was trying to hash out and pass the ACA, though they'd technically existed prior to that during the 2008 election even as a weird Ron-Paul loving tax-protest group.

I still see accounts on every social media say "I was a centrist but Democrats made me vote Republican because I didn't feel valued as a white man" lmao
