They had ~4-5% of the population in the streets for week(end)s on end.

If we had a sustained 15 million protesters in the street week after week,
plus a general strike,
plus a tax strike,

It won't happen unless conditions get really bad for most ordinary Americans who aren't really plugged in to "politics".
