BLM Riots Dragged Democrats Down In 2020, Data Shows

Last summer’s widespread Black Lives Matter demonstrations were a double-edged sword for Democrats in the 2020 election.

The Black Lives Matter saw a surge in public support following the murder of George Floyd by former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, but some of the protests that occurred when activists took to the streets turned violent. The relatively-isolated incidents caused billions of dollars in damage, resulted in at least 20 deaths and seemingly hurt Democrats electorally.

Instead of just dragging them down, their support of riots, arson, and lootings should have totally canceled them.

Dems did under-achieve severely in 2020, both House & Senate, I agree. Losing over a dozen House seats plus just getting a 50/50 Senate tie was very bad for a party out of power during the pandemic.
