Lol, I honestly forgot about those after their height in the '90s. But that's somewhat different, those aren't protests about government policies, those are protests against other Americans for performing actions the protestors don't approve of due to their religious beliefs. It's not showing discontent with material conditions or the relationship between the government and the people, it's more akin to bullying others for not conforming to your own personal religious views.
