Usually, it's a crime when people do stuff. Complaining that the government is bad is free in almost all democracies.

What counts as doing stuff? Minneapolis has been hitting the streets for days trying to chase a major federal agency out of Minnesota, a cause which I and my elected representatives publicly support. But it's a huge country, Minneapolis is thousands of miles away from me, and outside of airport security I haven't personally seen an agent of the federal government in years. To me, following federal agents around blowing whistles at them and yelling that they'd better leave town seems at least a little revolutionary - the feds certainly think so, they murdered someone for doing it this morning. But it’s also unambiguously permitted under US law.
