Yes, as soon as it happens. Never letting the newness wear off first.
They have taken the definition of moron to be a suggestion of their guiding principles.

Ah yes, 2020, it was just like the 60’s. People sitting in the grass, holding hands, looking up at Jerry Garcia playing his guitar; Jerry’s face beaming with joy from a fresh dosing of LSD, the people all singing along and hugging. 2020 was just the type of unity this country so desperately needed.
Well they did have the summer of love in Seattle - at least according to their dingbat Mayor at the time.

In my experience more people are united in being opposed to riots, protests, and anti-police rhetoric than are supporting BLM.
The 2020 protests/riots served only to promote more of a divide among generations, races, and economic classes.

Exactly this. When you look at the statistics from back in, say, 2019 for complaints of police brutality, an estimated 26,000 out of roughly 55.8 million police encounters or 0.047%, the rate at which these claims of aggressiveness are grossly overstated. Yes it does happen but if you believed the rhetoric being put out by interested parties you'd think there was a mass scale epidemic of racially biased police actions.
Black Lives Matter's leadership has made off with millions. I'm not going to completely dismiss the idea of figureheads being compensated for their efforts at a movement but when it's as dubious in its conduct and activities like BLM, I have to take a step back to analyse whether or not this aforesaid movement is actually a net positive for society. When I think about how a would-be political assassin, Quintez Brown, was bailed out from jail by BLM, my scepticism grows all the more.
