Maddow Drops Truth Bomb on the Right: Cheeto Resistance Far Outpaces Tea Party's Heyday

[fleur-de-lisa]

Women's marches "are supported by Americans at a rate that outstrips support for the Tea Party at its apex by more than 20 points."

The anti-Dumpster resistance movement stretches far beyond major cities, or even states Cheeto lost. It's also nearly twice as popular as its right-wing counterpart.

"Take a look at the shot from Mount Desert Island in Maine," MSNBC host Rachel Maddow pointed out, showing a photo of a newly formed "indivisible" activist group gathered for a meeting earlier this week. "55 people here at the first meeting of MDI Indivisible. Not bad for a town of 5,000," tweeted the photographer, Jennifer S Booher.

"You see the hats that they're wearing? Those are little statue liberty crowns," Maddow noted. They were, incidentally, the same hats worn by Tea Party members—a trend set by high-profile members like Virginia "Ginny" Thomas.

"I remember back in 2010 at the start of the Tea Party movement that sprung up on the right to oppose President Obama... when we discovered that one of the high-profile organizers of that effort was the wife of a sitting Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' wife, Ginny Thomas. [Ginny] was a Tea Party activist and in a very involved way; she founded something called Liberty Central."

Liberty Central was a conservative activist group founded in 2009 with over half a million dollars from undisclosed donors.

1. Thom Hartmann was talking about exactly this today

One thing is, the Teabag protests were all over the TV ( it was an AstroTurf project with a public relations firm for publicity)

These protests are larger, more widespread, and far less publicity. True grassroots
