It’s incredible how quickly BLM went from being one gargantuan social media virtue signal to an actual fringe terrorist group

It wasn’t even 3 months. Why was it so short lived?

A thread.

First of all, BLM spiked in July of 2016, 4 months before the US election.

This year, BLM spiked in June, 5 months before the US election. It was unequivocally, a campaign strategy by the Democrats (with a few unfortunate & unintended consequences.)

Did you post a little black square on social media? Did you write-off a few friends? Did you feel angrier and more frustrated than usual? Did you go out and protest? Did you make outrages statements about how inherently racist you are?

Well, you’ve been deceived.

BLM is probably the biggest political PR blunder in US election history. It didn’t make people less racist, in fact, it did the exact opposite!

But that was the plan. Their intention was always to play up racial division an inequality on the back of Trump’s economic triumph.

The Democrats did not, however, foresee the magnitude of the monster they created.

Relatively early on, the Republicans realised, if they endure just enough rioting and looting, they can brand themselves as a peace bearer and strong man, which they did.

The Dems knew they couldn’t u-turn on encouraging BLM protestors in fear of appearing weak or alienating their support base, but it was too late.

The utter chaos aka “mostly peaceful” scenes gave Trump a 2nd term in office on a silver platter.

The Democrats’ hands were tied. The only sensible move was to choose a black running mate (albeit an extremely unpopular one) and to quietly drop BLM and distance themselves from the violence on the streets by having Biden ask voters if they feel safe in Trump’s America.

BLM now only exist in Democrat run cities, which the Republicans are (dare I say) “looking the other way” for their own benefit.

BLM is not a Democrat campaign strategy anymore – it is a Republican campaign strategy.

And that ladies & gents, is why BLM has largely disappeared.

In summery: the Dems fuelled BLM’s anger until they lost control, elected KH in a panic, quietly dropped BLM and now the Reps are letting BLM run free in Dem cities, while still being regarded as a left-wing movement.

Pretty clever if you ask me.

Unfortunately, this left America (and pockets around the world) in a much worse position than the day before George Floyd was murdered.

Politics is a very dirty game and the only thing left to do, (and this is NOT easy), is to ask yourself if you are entirely innocent?
