Look at how the election went. Even factoring in a lot of cheating by the commies, lots of people voted for Hillary. It isn't a one-to-one thing, but a lot of those same people are supporting the protestors. It's low to no information voting and protesting along with fake news.
"Buffalo magically appeared to support the protestors,". Etc.
A lot of people are mad about the bs about the water in Flint too. This ties in with that in their minds.
