Is trolling the new hot form of political protest?

@Mephistopheles said in that Satan statue topic that ing is the new marching. I've been mulling that over for a bit and I think it's an idea worth exploring. Why don't we list some recent examples?

atheists with the satan statue
the republicans playing chicken over the government shutdown
republicans creating effigies of obama and hanging them
Christie closing the bridge

Obama saying he wouldnt sign NDAA
Obama saying the HealthCare.gov was up and running

Obama saying we do not have a spy program

"If you like your healthcare plan you can keep it"

Hope and Change

Those aren't really protests though, well maybe hope and change but thats a stretch. This is political protest trolling:

Trolling is harmless mental play
closing a bridge is not harmless
people loss their valuable time

the republicans and the government shut down was more posturing than trolling

republicans and the hate for obama is racism not trolling

christie closing the bridge is political bullying and not trolling

political protest that employ trolling are satirical in nature
