Is that not somewhat of an odd question?
Tell me, what sort of weakness would have to be abroad amongst the American population, for things which seemed wrong to them on one day, appear to be less wrong on another day of the week? How unfounded would ones political beliefs be, if they simply ceased to be important after a time of being expressed in great voice?
The fact is that the answer to your question is "As long as people feel a need to protest".
Soros has funded, or has close relationships with, at least 56 of the march’s “partners,” including “key partners” Planned Parenthood, which opposes Trump’s anti-abortion policy, and the National Resource Defense Council, which opposes Trump’s environmental policies. The other Soros ties with “Women’s March” organizations include the partisan MoveOn.org (which was fiercely pro-Clinton), the National Action Network (which has a former executive director lauded by Obama senior advisor Valerie Jarrett as “a leader of tomorrow” as a march co-chair and another official as “the head of logistics”). Other Soros grantees who are “partners” in the march are the American Civil Liberties Union, Center for Constitutional Rights, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
Billionaire liberal activist George Soros is helping fund the airport protests against President Donald Trump's executive order to ban refugees from war-torn Syria indefinitely and suspend visas from seven countries for at least 30 days, as PJ Media reported Sunday.
That being said, the methodology applied by the protestors (actually in this case, an angry mob, which is somewhat different) in this instance is entirely inappropriate.

It was a speaking event by a famous for nothing, not a White Supremacist rally. Antifa do not need to be rocking up to Milo's speaking engagements, because Milo is not known for violence. Antifa (a group whose existence I thoroughly endorse by the way) are best deployed into scenarios where actual militant White Supremacists, fascists, racists or other partially organised and historically violent groups from the right, might attempt to make a statement with violence, as a countermeasure.
Tea Party protests against all manner of things were known to be savage, thuggish, and violent as well, but so few people on the right decried those protests, or the manner in which they were conducted.
but that doesn't free him from being responsible for what he says.
