This is not how it played out in BLM where police violence consistently escalated things and more police violence only created even more electricity in the left. A combination of Biden winning, Floyd judgements occurring and finally covid caused the electricity to fizzle out.
Liberals turned the George Floyd "riots" into parades in a matter of days. They fizzled out well before Biden won or the judgements came down, and COVID wasn't a factor because they started after COVID had already hit. They never posed a threat to the status quo.
No they didn't. We watched things play out for months here, protests on hundreds of nights in places all over america were all Coolzone™. Cops were quitting en masse because they were tired, miserably, unhappy and getting their shit pushed in. Yes some early shit was coopted and made garbage but the cooption largely failed early on.
It never posed a threat to the status quo, that's absolutely true, because it never had a coherent set of political demands other than outrage at the treatment of black people. It was electricity without organisation, a goal or clear political direction. A much more radical and larger version of the same failures Occupy had.
