the main reason why people came out is because a broader swath of people have finally been DIRECTLY IMPACTED by what has been going on.

Billions were spent on blasting out "warnings" of this potential during last year's campaign season and that was ignored.

NOW people are actually feeling the effects that were listed in those warnings - including the "broken promises" of a better economy, etc.

Instead they were treated to ethnic cleansing, book banning, violent round-ups and mass deportations (including of U.S. citizens), censorship, mass firings of civil servants (and corresponding "non-civil servants - i.e., "contractors" who WERE WORKERS for the federal government and represent TWICE as many in numbers as actual civil servants), and HIGHER prices due to tariffs.
