I doubt they'll have a large group of "protesters" that are actually true hardline believers. More of an excuse to get out and party like it's 1979, trying to re-capture the feeling that they were actually accomplishing something.

It's more sad than frightening. The hard-liners are losing their grip due to the natural evolution of revolutions, and they're struggling to find ways of continuing to be relevant.
