the culture war and media beat Americans into submission to the point that only like 20% were supporting the protests by the end, whereas 70% supported burning down the precinct. Democrats and corporations got their grubby hands on it and started coopting everything, and the rightwing media went into overdrive with racist propaganda and pro-cop nonsense.
Americans are fickle and stupid and easily swayed. I take little hope in this flash in the pan because they’ve never shown any serious longevity or adherence to an actual coordinated project, they just wash around in the tide.
Americans went ACAB for half a year and now even police reform isnt on the minds of most of them.
