And the people who engage in protests are probably those more likely to be disenfranchised in general, even if they didn't have a reason to be disenfranchised. Those people are more likely to affect change than I am, but that doesn't mean they are more logical than I am.

To bring that back to your thing, the people who started whatever it is you're doing might be right, but would they have been content to just sit around and be regular members of society if what they're now protesting against wasn't there? Or would they have found some other reason to be angry? Those kinds of people are the most likely to enact change, partly because they might have a point, but also because those people are simply looking for a fight of any sort.

When people feel they are pushed against the wall whether it be something tangible or their values. They are moved to act out in someway. It isn't always the most constructive way but they feel like their backs are against they wall and they will be angry enough to move to act out. It usually falls back to their own personal self interest. If something is affecting the way that they conduct their daily life or they have some connection to it by how they were mistreated in the past then they will definitely move to action.

Andrew Johnson got impeached due to his overwhelming popularity.
