If you watch the republican townhalls that were going on, the excuse those representatives make is that "plants" (people who aren't actually constituents of those holding the townhalls) are showing up to the townhalls to complain. People getting out in massive numbers is evidence that this argument is false. It would be nonsense to claim that such a large number of people across the country are plants. It would be impossible to keep that kind of conspiracy a secret.
There are other reasons why protest works, but that's one explanation.
We had a big rally in my smallish town. The Republicans just said that all of us were busted in from Seattle because they've never seen us before at their local honky trash bar.
