what are they protesting against?

Like many of DJT's supporters, you don't seem to understand things you should have learned in secondary school:

a MAJORITY means "more than one-half (50%)"

a PLURALITY means "less than one-half, but the largest number"

A) 2016
DJT LOST the popular vote in 2016; a MAJORITY of Americans voted AGAINST him:

_____________DJT______________HRC
Popular vote_62,984,828[2]____65,853,514[2]
Percentage__46.1%[2]_________48.2%[2]

(See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_States_presidential_election)

HRC WON a PLURALITY of the popular vote, with 2.1% more of the voters selecting her rather than DJT.

B) 2024
DJT WON by a PLURALITY of the popular vote in 2024; a majority of voters did NOT vote for him, and only 1.5% more of all voters chose him over KDH:

_____________DJT______________KDH
Popular vote_77,302,580[2]____75,017,613[2]
Percentage__49.8%[2]_________48.3%[2]
