3. They are playacting or don't understand how government works

Not just Democracy, but government in general.

Spoiled absolutists looking for an easy scapegoat either because they're too afraid or lazy to actually do their homework and go after actual root causes for their grievance -
- or are virtue signalling for their particular organizational identity for the ego-boo or so they can position themselves better in the organizational hierarchy.

They never seem to go after the hard targets, or the real actors, do they?

8. Probably because they find it difficult to admit

that they got played.
Why is a protest by a dozen people of concern anyway? You could find more people in any US city who believe that the Earth is flat, that vaccines contain microchips, or that Brussels sprouts are the work of the devil.
Better to ask where all of the protesters have gone who protested Biden/Harris before the election when they had ignored the plight of Palestinians for a decade before the election, who have not to this day protested what Saudi Arabia is doing to Yemen, and who only heard of Gaza on social media platforms owned by reich-wing techbros who are allies of Trump/Putin/Netanyahu/Orbán/Bolsonaro, etc. And don't forget to wish Happy Birthday to Putin on October 7!

9. Because no such thing as protesting Republicans and the scarves they bought on Amazon are cool.

Wonder who is funding them. They have to be there to remind everyone of the tropes used during the election.
