I mean, the TEA party just morphed into MAGA and then mainstream GOP.
Didn’t die, just got a few new names.
100%, although I think it was the other way around. GOP treated the Tea Party as a legitimate movement with ideas worth hearing/catering to. Before long, those same members found themselves either falling in line or challenged from the right in primaries. That group morphed into MAGA, which again was absorbed by the GOP as their new identity.
The tea party was a well funded astroturf movement. “MAGA” didn’t just invent itself.
Yes, I’d say it was extremely successful.
Occupy faced overwhelming media bias against it. A good chunk of major cities passed anti-protest laws that curbed it.
The Tea Party was an astroturfed “movement” funded by the Koch brothers that resulted in officials being elected. The overall goal was to bring the US further right and that was accomplished so they stopped funding it.
It’s amazing that they’re conflating these two things.
Occupy was smothered from within via the use of ops, change my mind. It was one of the very few popular movements that got really close to the true crux of the issues in society, and right after it failed we got inundated with extremist identity politics tearing a potential class struggle apart.
Occupy didn’t really have defined goals. It had a loose coalition of people who were upset about similar things but didn’t really agree on what needed to be done to fix it.
The tea party is just rebranded they never went away.
How is this humor?
Must we with the AI-generated images?
(I’m open to being corrected if it isn’t AI-generated, but it looks to me like some of those cows have too many legs.)
Better or worse than repurposed stock images or stolen copyrighted material?
Worse.
