37. I can easily imagine teabaggers looking at that, and thinking they're already...
...taking the advice.

They'd just think to themselves that they aren't being afraid because they're "standing up" to other Americans (liberals, anyone not just like them), they're "standing up" to other religions (Islam, the evil godless forces of secularism). It's teabaggers, after all, who are showing less fear of radical Islam, by blithely not worrying that their burning of Qurans and protests against the building of Islamic community centers (AKA "victory mosques"), than the people who warn them against stupidly stirring up trouble.

They'll claim that it's Democrats and liberals who are "afraid" of "other classes" (the rich), fear they demonstrate by trying to tax and regulate them more.

And incoherent gibberish though it may be, no one can accuse the teabaggers of not "speaking out".

If this graphic is so popular, it's probably because lots of people think that they their the ones who "get it", even people with wildly different politics and attitudes.
