    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.

    I mean, the TEA party just morphed into MAGA and then mainstream GOP.
