As we speak, masses of human shields are blocking courthouses and stalling evictions. Let me correct that, enfranchised Americans would be mowing down peasants and propping up fascists, but haven't they been doing that for all of US history? Let's be realistic here, BLM (in its actual on the ground contingencies) is pro-gun police abolition movement with direct demands to redistribute wealth to the proletarian classes. Their vanguard is largely comprised of MLs, MLMZT adherents, and AnComs who have managed to put the idea of full police defunding into the mainstream liberal discourse. When has this happened since the War On Drugs began? Never, not once. There were ideas before it in the 60s, but Americans were much more reactionary then and fell in line with Nixon's Southern Strategy.
What I'm saying is that we live in a time when GDP is dropping at double the rate of the Great Depression and electoralism at the national level is considered fully moot by the vast majority of Americans. Now compare this situation with other Anglo countries like NZ, Aus or UK. Sure they have better social safety nets now, but look at the people. Americans under 30 are mostly PoC and are radically anti-capitalist, don't give up the fight before it begins. If you do, BLM turns into liberal parades and progress gets set back a generation in reaction to liberal hypocrisy.
