Anti-Immigrant Protests A Bust, Again

Submitted by Ian Silverstone on Thursday, 12/11/2014 1:10 pm

Earlier this month, Rep. Michele Bachmann utterly failed to organize a Tea Party uprising against President Obama’s executive action on immigration, as what she hoped would be a massive Washington, D.C., rally against “amnesty” eventually became a press conference attended by a handful of activists holding anti-Obama signs.

If this is the level of support they can generate, why are they winning? If people don't agree with them, why are they voting for them? What level of cognitive dissonance is making this possible?
