Yeah ok, but the majority of Southerners and Midwesterners are also staying home, not complaining or storming state capitals so this is a silly comparison.
Most Midwesterners are staying inside and don't support the protesting. Think of all the people out of jobs right now and then compare that with the number who are protesting. If we supported them the protestors would be in the hundreds of thousands in each state.
Madison WI had 80 protestors last weekend. Currently around 10-15k people in Dane County are on unemployment, so not even 1% of the unemployed (assuming the protestors are unemployed people trying to get their jobs back, and assuming the protestors are local) in Dane County believe this is a good idea. Not really fair to lump a whole state in because of that.

This also does not account for New Yorkers fleeing the city and infecting other areas in Florida and New England when things started getting bad.
