This meme is going around is so so terribly ignorant of what Tea Party actually did that it’s painful, unless it’s deliberately misleading. Tea Party took over *electorally* by being energized *and* strategic and well-funded—the protests mattered some but only through that path. https://t.co/hJQQhOEOm8

If you were writing a history of the how the Supreme Court tipped, you’d probably start with the 2010 midterm election. The Dems, in effect, abandoned every other lever power in the country besides the presidency. The right did not.https://twitter.com/r0wdy_/status/1049043721717575681 …

Way to miss the point, which I’m quoting because this is a common way to miss the point. Strategic action is the one thing *under their control* that makes or breaks movements. Methods are secondary.https://twitter.com/icerafter/status/1049047876532285440 …

One of the most successful movements in recent US history. They’ve changed so much to their own agenda despite numeric weakness. Very potent, strategic mix of protest and the laser-focused electoral actions. You don’t have to like a movement to study it.https://twitter.com/aldowyn/status/1049042637917810689 …

WTF exactly are you talking about? Protest is American as apple pie. Sounds like a right-wing call for civility, at a point where Dems are poised to turn outrage into a House and perhaps even a Senate majority. NOW IS THE TIME FOR CIVIL OUTRAGE!!!
