The problem with this is that it implies that "regular lovely Republican" poo poo like re-banning gay marriage, building a border wall, cracking down on immigration, more voter ID laws, outright transphobia, and appointing three solidly conservative Supreme Court justices are all things that are okay and that you are perfectly fine with.

A protest is basically just a way of demonstrating that a lot of people are angry. To be truly effective, it needs a somewhat coherent objective (doesn't have to be detailed or specific; BLM's "stop oppressing black people goddamnit" was plenty), and it needs an implied threat of "here's what us angry people will do if you don't give us concessions to calm us down". If the protest movement lacks either of those things, it's doomed to fail.
