Have you noticed that there are thousands of them out their breaking the laws pertaining to allowable crowd size and social distancing and mask wearing and tolerating the presence of  groups of violent and destructive people as Americans are being forced to live with all the restrictions placed on their business's, their jobs, their churches, their personal lives and so forth, Dude, the American people can't even bury its dead or get married and so forth as Black Lives Matter does what? You don't see the American back lash that building up across the country right now. Fox news isn't talking to me right now. Fox news us talking to a new audience right now. Hint: A center left audience who I assume are letting go of CNN and MSNBC and the National news outlets.

I have been assuming that you can treat the situation as having three motivations, which can be attributed to Black Lives Matter, the Boogaloo Bois, and the looters. In practice, they overlap. You get people with multiple motives. Of the three, only the looters are non ideological. You have BLM promote life and equality, and the BB promoting violence and conflict. Not compatible. I have noted a similarity in everything but language between the Boogaloo Bois and the Marxists. The existing alliance between democracy and capitalism is supposedly hopelessly broken, and only violence can solve the problem. Even then, the Boogaloo Bois are out there doing it, while the Marxists are too few and too scattered to make themselves felt.

I am watching the increasing popularity of those supporting a scientific approach to the virus and a law and order response to racist violent policing. Lots of red people are moving blue for at least one election cycle. I am assuming this is showing up not just in the polls, but in where they get their news and what they believe. Black lives, all lives and the science really matter.

Of course your ideological blindness and unwillingness to see reality might lead you to other conclusions.
