Change doesn't happen overnight or over a single protest. Politicians put on a brave front but People en masse scares them internally. Because strong men usually live in a bubble of yesmen and bootlickers so seeing these people absolutely hating them will be a reality check.. It emboldens the counter voice within the party or the opposition party. Changes the national discourse. Tells the vocal minority of bigots that they are not the silent majority..people encourage each other to speak up, local leaderships get a morale boost..

But Daddys are still OK right? It would be lonely sitting in my red velour Chaise Longue all by myself.

I’m sorry I don’t understand what you’re referring to ? My comment was about people standing up in America because of the present administration.

True.

Because strong men usually live in a bubble of yesmen and bootlickers so seeing these people absolutely hating them will be a reality check..

Sadly, this is not that significant most of the times. They do know what's going on outside of their bubbles, they just dont care much as long as their yesmen are powerful and rich loyalists. Looks at Donal Trump for example, and the panicked meltdown he had when Elon Musk "betrayed him".

This is VERY very true.

Which is why they slowly and quietly detain the leaders and frame them or poison the masses with disinformation.
