Why don't progressive go after the areas that actually voted for Trump, go on over to Alabama and block traffic?

How about we not block traffic?

Traveling from Los Angeles to Alabama is a bit much to do a protest.

Democrats still primarily live in or near cities. Going to the city for a protest can be an afternoon activity for them; it doesn't require substantial planning from individuals. Cities also have infrastructure to protest at. In a way the purpose of these protests is to get attention and media coverage. Doing that in a city works.

It's counter productive and it's not changing anyones mind.

Maybe, but that has been said about any and every protest that has occurred. Either the protest doesn't inconvenience anyone, in which case nobody cares because it has no impact. Or the protest inconveniences some people, in which case they're only annoying people.

As such I don't put much stock in complaints about protests.
