It's using the tea party scene in alice in wonderland to satirise the American Tea Party, a political party known for their extreme right-wing views.

In Alice in Wonderland the Tea Party is held by the Mad Hatter. By drawing comparisons between the AIW tea party, and the American tea party, the creator is calling the American tea party crazy and mad.
