The gift that keeps giving.
The riots, looting, and attacks on police that ensued after BLM protests in 2016, regardless of who incited them, were a major factor in Hillary Climton's loss, and the same events have been a major contributing factor in republican success in the 2020 election.
While I support the goals of BLM, and applaud the success they have achieved in drawing attention to important issues, the progress being made has been completely negated by those who have exploited their rallies for nefarious reasons.
BLM needs to take responsibility and provide leadership to curtail the negative behavior on display both during and after their protests. Declaring that a protest was over at a specific time, and informing law enforcement authorities that anyone present after that time is not affiliated with BLM would be a good start. They also need to be more selective in the causes they champion, only mobilizing when an obvious injustice has occurred. Both actions would go a long way towards cleaning up their image.
Trump and the republicans used BLM to bludgeon Biden and the democrats. Take away that bludgeon and all Trump has is his mouth and his tiny little hands.
The republicans have held the Senate and Trump may win a second term. BLM owns a significant share of the BLaMe. Far left agitators, and right wing provacateurs, as well as opportunistic criminals deserve even more of the blame, but they are also exploiting BLM's legitimately organized protests.
SAD!!!
