Kenosha has traditionally been really heavily politically divided between the very Democratic city of Kenosha, and the hard-right suburbs.
Kenosha actually did shift about 3% toward Trump this election though - even though most of eastern Wisconsin shifted leftward - so I think it's possible the protests had some effect locally.
