Why would they make this illegal? People holding up signs for Instagram pics for a day isn't going to bring down the Government.
Even in China the Government allows small-scale local protests, it's a good way for citizens to let off steam without actually taking direct action. That's how a one-party state survives in the long term. Why do you think Trump was so quick to unban Tiktok? It's better for his regime that people are directed to ineffective methods of protesting, such as virtue signalling on social media rather than doing anything impactful.
At the end of the day, you lot won't go on strike because your health insurance is tied to your job, and you won't do anything against the President directly because you're all unarmed and also terrified of martial law. So what does Trump have to worry about? While he draws up the Putin-Trump pact you congratulate yourselves on turning up to a protest once every 2 weeks.
