BLM is a vile racist hustler organization that needs to be terminated. Black homicides are increasing all over the country since this “movement” has recently been on the rise.
Deaths, assaults, looting and rioting by plenty that support BLM. Support for them had been declining since people have become educated to this trash org and movement.
If they truly cared about black lives much less any lives they’d be in towns where a high rate of blacks are murdering blacks.
Those signs and protesters coming through towns where that doesn’t happen is a waste of time and an insult aside from all the destruction and lawlessness. F BLM. They are a deadly cancer. Marxist trash.
There are a lot of whiles who want to renounce racism, and were shocked at the George Floyd video, so they support BLM without looking at what the really stand for.
What outsider whites think BLM stands for, and what the insiders at BLM want it to be are vastly different things. I think a lot of the white supporters would be very turned off if they really dug into what BLM actually is.
I don't support a lot of the goals of the organization that has that name. I support the movement and the need for police reform in our society. I don't like the fact that some of the radicals have the loudest voices and get a lot of media attention. There are a lot of people tied to the movement who believe in common sense reform to address the issues at hand with police brutality.
I don’t know if most Americans are anti BLM or not but I can say with absolute certainty that it is a large movement that can’t be ignored by the public and by elected officials. It definitely has more support than the tea party or the Green Party or the gun rights activists or a hundred other special interest groups that demand to be, and are, heard in the halls of congress and in the board rooms of public companies. This is not a movement that can be ignored. You can vilify it all you want but there is no denying BLM concerns need to be heard because there is sizable support with the voting and buying public.
I looked at the graph-- old republican men--- nothing new here.
They vote, millennials do not. That won't change in 2020. Millennials are remarkably disengaged, in terms of civil society.
It's almost like if you raise kids to be self-obsessed, they don't see much value in participating in the traditional civic activities that bound people together and created goodwill? Huh.

I raised two Millennials. Both of them have voted in every single election since they came of age, and both plan to vote in November.
Given the mood in the country, I think you might be unpleasantly surprised by the turnout this year. This year is like no other, so the past is not necessarily prelude. People are motivated, and that includes younger Americans.
And I say unpleasantly here because they will not be voting for Trump.

They do seem to be protesting in large numbers and that looks to me as participating. Or do they have to only join in on civic activities that you approve of. Does it count if it doesn’t create goodwill for you?
no, that poster is right on....to come back with this, is the problem

I don’t expect you to have enough character to admit you’re wrong, sadly however.
