Lief and Snowstalker are actual Nazi's themselves, so I don't know if they should be looking down their noses at the Tea Party.

This is obviously comparing apples to oranges. For all similarities in shape, water content and acidity, an apple is still an apple and an orange an orange. In that sense, and as mere thought experiment, let's try to answer the question from a Germany 1932/33 perspective:

Catholics, especially the religiously-motivated SoCons among them -> Centrum

Fiscal / economic conservatives, pro free-trade, especially from affluent, foreign-trade oriented regions (New England/ New York / Great Lakes / West Coast coming to mind here for the US) -> DVP

Hawks, law & order, anti-immigration/ anti-Muslim (but not necessarily racist), pro-gun, small government, regionalist /"state rights", protectionist, anti gay marriage (typically rural / small-town/ agrarian) -> DNVP (some defection to NSDAP after 1928)

Socially concerned / marginalised evangelicals, nationalist, anti-immigration/ anti-Muslim, anti gay marriage especially from regions with a historic (social-)democratic lean, plus some social-economic utopians with an otherwise nationalist / anti-immigrant outlook (libertarians?) -> NSDAP


I leave it to others to sort whoever is counted as Tea Party supporter into the above categories. An interesting question, however, is, where Republicans supporting weed legalisation would have ended up in the Weimar Republic...
How in God's name are libertarians "social-economic utopians?"
