I was going to post something similar. I've seen this type of article since 2016. Nothing comes from it.

I'm not really sure what's the point of articles like this.

Is it to create false hope that something will change?

Is it to just get non-MAGA people to click the link? <--- Probably this one

or something else.

What would be a good article would be

"Thousands of MAGA voters march on Capitol Hill in protest to the trump administration's handling of the economy."

The same point as most other articles. Keep us engaged. Keep us exhausted. Keep us fighting. Oh, and earn a little money too so that the billionaire who owns the network doesn't have to pay anything to keep his propaganda machine turning.
