They were uncomfortable because of Covid. That's not likely to happen again soon. They were the most widespread protests this country has had since Vietnam (at least) and they accomplished nothing. The government has those kinds of protests figured out and can crush them or make them irrelevant. Nothing is going to change until people are willing to risk their own lives.
