Protests are a cute distraction, but don’t mean that much...Conservatives, and most Americans, are not street protest emotiontards. They’re productive members of society that don’t have time for silly rants ‘n chants.

I disagree. I attended lots of Tea Party rallies despite working in a very demanding, production driven job. I consider myself a productive member of society.
As for rants ‘n chants, that’s a cute way to put it but the Democrats feared those “silly” protests because they shined a critical and much needed light on liberal hypocrisy and the dangers of government overreach. The media certainly didn’t like covering the rallies either as the turnouts demonstrated support for conservative causes.
All that “silline3ss” helped to change the composition of the U.S. congress.

Exactly- to be truly effective, the te4a party needs to form into a massive cohesive unit that can boycott businesses that want to violate our constitutional rights, companies that support crap like transgenders using women’s bathrooms- Schools that ram islamic messages and LGBT messages down people’s throats- etc-
The NBA or NFL can’t remember which, threatened NC that they would not do business with NC because NC didn’t allow men to use women’s bathrooms- and NC eventually caved- IF enough teaparty folks boycotted the NFL for doing that- it could have a pretty substantial effect on the NFL-

And they are also folks who get behind a cause and can affect change by effectively protesting with their pocketbooks and wallets instead of non effective protest chants like you mention- They just need a good leader/group to motivate them to let them know their efforts will be worthwhile because millions will join them-
