Occupy faced overwhelming media bias against it. A good chunk of major cities passed anti-protest laws that curbed it.

The Tea Party was an astroturfed “movement” funded by the Koch brothers that resulted in officials being elected. The overall goal was to bring the US further right and that was accomplished so they stopped funding it.

Don't forget the lower court judge appointments and the current supreme court as well.
