Those people protesting don't go to protest parties every weekend. It's not a substitute for sportsball. The fact that they don't usually protest is a clue that they're not actually doing whatever they want.
With a little empathy, that behavior makes sense. They'd rather take what they consider an indefinite but small risk of dying to gather in protest instead of taking a definite looming risk of losing everything, failing their families, and losing all self-respect.
But I understand that many people here haven't thought about that. And the news doesn't present it that way.
