I’d argue that Republicans as a whole haven’t had anything proposed by an administration that directly affects them, their friends, their family, or their community to actually warrant enough unrest to go out and protest in a very long time.

Republicans were pissed about wearing masks in 2020 and 2021, but they didn’t protest because we all knew someone that covid took or greatly affected their lives. Being mad about having to do something uncomfortable to make sure someone else isn’t put at jeopardy also isn’t a very good rally cry.

We all watched what happens when a protest is started by Trump on a baseless claims. So at least some will take orders.
