Tea Party Movement
In more recent American and world history, protests have become a favorite tactic of liberals and revolutionaries. A frequent pattern is to announce a "peaceful" protest and then provoke the authorities into using a degree of force which appears excessive. This tactic worked well at [[Kent State protests|Kent State]], where after student rioting and an alleged sniper attack, members of the Ohio National Guard opened fire on unarmed students, killing four and wounding nine others. In several cases, liberals and revolutionaries often used the term "protest" to refer to what would be better described as [[riot]]s, and during at least the 1960s also mistook that for "free speech" and a demonstration of unpopularity for something, to the extent that several anti-war protestors assumed that North Vietnam having no protests meant that the North Vietnamese government was actually "popular" among the people of North Vietnam (when in reality, if the people attempted to speak out against the North Vietnam Communist regime, they would have been killed).

In the early years of the Presidency of [[Barack Obama]], conservative activists showed up in huge numbers to shut down D.C. for protests during the [[Tea Party Movement]]
