Why aren't people protesting President Trump's federal government changes like they did during his first term?

The lack of public protests against Trump's second-term federal changes contrasts sharply with his first term, when massive demonstrations occurred. Americans clearly voted for change in November, with two-thirds believing the country was headed in the wrong direction. However, it remains unclear if the extensive changes being implemented—including deep cuts to federal agencies and initiatives like Project Doge—align with what voters actually wanted. The true test will come when Americans experience the real-world consequences of these sweeping reforms and determine whether this is the direction they intended when voting for change.
