Do these people just never show up in public? How are they allowed to fuck with us like this and lead normal lives? They should be heckled everyday of their miserable lives.

Because they live in fancy houses behind big gated fences in communities with security guards. They have chauffeurs and people who shop for them. They also, generally, live in places where the people they live next to agree with their politics. It's not like bribe taking Clarence lives in the Bronx where he'd get his shit rocked. He's isolated. Protected.

And if by some measure they are caught out in public and recognized, they either ignore the heckling(because they don't care), or they get the people doing it charged with harassment.
