    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.

      Don’t forget the lower court judge appointments and the current supreme court as well.

          I’ve heard about protesters kicking homeless out of the park they were going to protest in, though now that I’m looking for evidence i think the person I heard that from was wrong or misremembered details. I’ll be removing that comment so I don’t also spread that misinformation.
