polls report public sympathy for BLM is very high.
Wow, I actually haven’t expected that at all.
Maybe many years ago this turn of events would seem natural to me. People care about each other and stand up for each other when someone gets hurt, right? Well, wrong. At least in Russia, most people don’t care much about victims of police violence, as I’ve found. And in USA it seems to only be about black people. So while I can see why Democrats are supporting their ingroop, I don’t get the increase in Republican support. Could people be lying about their views because they’re afraid of repercussions for expressing wrong ones? Seems like a big stretch.
My people believed in nonviolent protest, and lost. While I’d broken away from the doctrine and cheered for people who fought back against cops, I’ve always thought that pointless violence against innocents would make people hate me. (Or do they just hate the cops even more? I didn’t notice that.) Will people like my politics more if I go loot some shops? Or is it something else they did right.
I walk away from you guys totally confused about how it all really works.
