Fiercely defending the rights of Americans to protest.

As we all know one of the greatest things about America is that you have freedom of speach and freedom of assembly.
These are key elements of our republic .
We are a republic not a democracy.
Just so you know.
A republic is a country with a specific form of government, in which the people, or some significant portion of them, have supreme control over the government and where offices of state are not granted primarily based upon family, military, or business connections.[1][2] In modern times, a common simplified definition of a republic is a country where the head of state is not a monarch.[3][4] The word republic is derived from the Latin phrase res publica, which can be translated as "a public affair", and often used to describe a state using this form of government.
So we defend the rights of those who assemble and protest.
This is a good thing.
Sometimes the people protesting have opposite views from our own and sometimes we agree with them.
Either way they have the right.
Protesters are a good balance against the system so when things go wrong they can counter the idea and state their ideals.
