for anybody wondering, this loosely appears to mirror the population density at a quick glance (which makes sense)

Here's my reaction to the protests:

I've been hurt by too many flash-in-the-pan activist things that ended up going nowhere. I'm not ready to believe yet.

I feel exactly the same. I will be convinced when the votes are in.

Yes! My city's protest was a sight to behold. I will point out that these protests are just as much for the protestors as anything else. To be around so many people that gave a fuck was really energizing and hopeful. It pulls you out of your online ecosystem and reminds you that your neighbors care about you and you care about them. It builds momentum for the next protest and the next one and then more collective action. People are credibly talking about a general strike. Economic boycotts are starting to make a (small) dent. Our most effective tool is how we choose to spend our dollars and it's going to take a lot of sacrifice and be more uncomfortable than any of us are probably used to but yesterday showed a whole lot of people that they aren't alone.

Lines up well with population density, if anything, lower population areas might be a bit over represented!

I want everyone to know that on the 5th, a whole lot of the country was under like day 3 of severe storms. I expected no one to show up in Tennessee, especially in Nashville, with all the flooding and the flooded out streets. Apparently, there was still a turnout, and that's kind of a big deal.
