Re: Protest
What is the scenario? At home? At Work? Outside the presidential place? In a restaurant or shop?

Re: Protest
You might {cause / create / make} a scene, or make a [real] {fuss / nuisance of yourself}. In Britain (but not the USA, I think), you could also go ballistic. Or you could just complain loudly.

Re: Protest
The challenge for the English is that they don't really get loud about complaining. We always imagine Americans are much more exuberant in their emotions. We tend to be quiet and firm. So phrases like "created a scene", "created a bit of a fuss", "raised voices" are all useful.

Re: Protest
Good point. I should have included shoot {the place up / anything that moves / everyone {in sight / within range}} and indiscriminately open fire.

Re: Protest
Depending on the amount of protest, one might "rage against" something, or "rage out"
I'm not sure how idiomatic "rage" by itself is, but I feel that "rage" or "raging" is particularly appropriate in the connect of describing the discontent of someone in protest.
