Tea Party 2.0, Same as It Ever Was

Remember Reagan using Springsteen's "Born in the USA" back in the ’80s? Aaagh.


The thing that gets me the most about these astroturf protests, though, is the coverage of them.

More people turned out for every one of the Protect Mueller and Impeach Trump protests (in the dead of winter) — let alone all of the huge climate, science, gun sanity, women's, etc. marches that have happened since Mafia Mulligan took office — but the coverage of these small "liberate" rallies makes them seem more important than any of those except maybe the Women's March.

At this point, I don't know if the media are letting themselves be manipulated or are part of it. They sure let themselves be played, if it's the former.
