Please understand that a legal framework for what forms of protest are permitted also protects you from abuse. Would you like some idiots to be allowed to put up their political slogans in your windows and if you tear them down, you get slapped with a fine for infringing on their freedom of speech?
Also, please note that there are specifically provisions that keep corporations, you know, the entities that have more money and power than you, or the deity of your choice, from forcing you to put up support posters around your home for political candidates that want to eliminate your worker's rights and make it look like you support that.
Please think twice before you cry that certain forms of political protest get "legalized", because I can reassure you, you would not be the one profiting from it.
In general, laws protect you from far more powerful entities. And yes, they'd gladly see them eliminated.
