Man, I don't buy it. Remember BLM during Trump 1? The US had multiple federal buildings actively on fire in multiple cities. That was like 8 years ago, things are worse now, but the best they have is protestors in inflatable costumes.

The answer is quite a bit more simple: Americans are either apathetic, or charitably, fatigued/acclimated.

    It was 6 years ago, but which federal buildings in which cities? I was able to find one incident related to BLM in 2020 and federal buildings - in the entrance to the federal courthouse entrance in Portland.

    Also, what did that even accomplish? Setting stuff on fire - even if it's only opportunists that show up to do stupid shit and who had nothing to do with the protest - only built more sympathy for the anti-BLM position.

    If there were federal buildings on fire in all 50 states right now it'd only give donnie a pass to do exactly what he and his fascist enablers want him to do - unleash the death squads - deputized right wing authoritarians - on normal Americans.
