Because most on the "right" have better, more productive, shite to do... like responsibilities, jobs, etc.

Pretty sure the OP was not referring to protest as bitching but as organized groups of people. Comprehension bro.
One in the same according to the posters on this board.

People on the right protest in a different manner, but they are as likely to protest.

Their arguments generally suck,
so the only thing they have is bullying and intimidation.

Conservative women have jobs, have boyfriends or husbands and are more fulfilled. Conservative men have better things to do.
Leftist men and women are pretty much the same..unfulfilled, no good job, high estrogen, feel like victims. Also $$. They dont have to pay these people much to get them to go protest. Youd have to pay good money for a conservative to take off work or leisure time to go protest something silly.

I'll wait...

The Ivanka spike in profits is definitely a protest for one. You are foolish to say it is not.
The latest election is another.
A protest is not always running amuck and being violent. A protest is not liking something and voicing or acting on the result.

OK...so what would you call the current actions being taken by the left?

Protests, why? The method of protest is different, but it is still a protest.

Sorry, couldnt resist, Hemingway right?

One of the reasons is because the misfits of society are much more prone to be "mad at the world"
There's an old saying; "Happy people don't make history." For better or worse, there's a lot of truth in that.

Let's be a little clearer in our definitions and say that the left is far more likely to publicly protest or demonstrate than is the right.
I think the largest conservative protest in the United States in the last fifty years is the tax day protest in 2009 that had about 350,000 people nation-wide.
There are at least a dozen I can name off the top of my mind (starting with the women's day protest a month or so ago, the Iraq War protests, several Vietnam protests, Solidarity Day protests in 1981, anti nuclear protests in 1982, LGBT in 1993, etc, etc) from the left that exceeded those 2009 protests by several or many multiples. Scale, frequency, and friction matter if you're having this discussion, and in that case, there isn't any comparison at all: the left publicly demonstrates on a scale and frequency (and with far more friction with existing authorities) that dwarfs the right.
Lots of reasons for it: the left has always been younger than the right; the very nature of the two movements (changing the status quo tends to mean bucking authority); substitution of ideology for moral meaning from large sections of the left (and I say that as a pretty irreligious person); and so forth.

Disagree... Support for her line? Possibly. A protest in favor of Ivanka? Possibly. Can't be defined either way... there is no concrete evidence or facts to support an argument that the "right" are supporting Ivanka's products in protest to the "left" rhetoric. However, there is plenty of proof of a protest when there are people physically gathering and protesting (and, burning shite down).

This example is more concrete. But don't be mistaken here... this year's election was not a protest by the right... it was an uprising.

Both sides protest. MSM seems to prioritize the protest from the left more in an attempt to promote their agenda.
