Protest from who, BLM? I wrote them off as either simply ignorant, or as an organized political attack group. (and while the former is still likely, the latter certainty does not preclude it) Now that they've moved into domestic terrorism, they probably will have issues continuing to exist.
From who, the political power structure? This is our protest against them, so of course they're going to do everything they can to stop it. Lie, cheat, murder - there's a reason that Big Donald wears a vest. Result so far is what, 13 people dropping out because he's been in the lead the entire time?
From the media? They've tried everything - even using Hitler comparisons on multiple occasions, but the media hasn't been able to use its tactics to bring him down. Even after SJW take-over of popular websites like reddit, and having Twitter censor his supporters, they haven't been able to stop him online either. Their attacks seem to use the logic of petulant children, or bad comedians.
What we're seeing is people who were sick of the system, people who never even wanted to vote before, who never believed the crap they spew every election cycle. These people against Trump have no credibility with his voters. Instead, since there's so much mistrust, they have the opposite effect and increase his support. We don't like you, we don't trust you, and you know what? We'll go out and vote driven by the desire to spite you.
