Con qué va a hacer

Question

The first guy says "Quiero protestar" and the other guy says "Con qué va a hacer". With what are you going to make? Is this a standard way to say "What's your issue?" or something like that?

Answer 1

Are you, maybe, referring to "conque" ?

¡Quiero protestar!. -Conque va a hacerlo...

Meaning something like "so you're going to do it, aren't you?"(ironic)

Answer 2

It sounds equally weird to me. I'm not even sure I understand completely what it means -if it means something.

Answer 3

Actually, "con qué va a hacer" sounds a bit weird. I think the more common prepositions are "protestar por algo", "protestar contra algo/alguien" and "protestar a alguien". Con makes me think of the means you'll use to protest, although, as I said, it sounds a bit weird for me, so don't trust me.

Besides, "hacer" is usually a transitive verb, and it also sounds weird not using a direct object, but, don't trust me jeje
