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

Another framing for “methods” is “tactics”. Without strategy, tactics are ineffective. Tactics alone win battles that don’t matter.
