protests are supposed to disrupt. they are supposed to be a pain in the ass. to ruin people's day.
and yes, they are supposed to do this even - ESPECIALLY - to the ppl who are not responsible for the problem.
protests put a price on their participation. protests force them to confront the issue at hand. "just let them enjoy the game" is fucking literally the opposite of what a protest is trying to accomplish.
if a protest doesn't jack up someone's day, it's not a protest, it's performance art
@nerdybutcute as someone living in a state capital, I strongly disagree with the general principle. Blocking traffic in Sacramento has become the new way to protest everything from high taxes to new emissions regulations. Parking ones semi in the middle of I5 because the state is not letting them poison the air does nothing to the LA and Bay Area legislators who stay in the hotel across the street from the capital, but those of us who actually work for a living get screwed. The only thing all these red neck and woke SJWs have actually convinced me of is that blocking the Interstate should come with years of prison time.
