A comment on America is giving up on the pandemic?. Parent comment
These protests are interesting and different because a lot of factors are playing into them:
- Obviously, black lives matter
- Pent-up anger over Trump
- Pent-up frustration over lockdowns
- Unemployed people with nothing to do
- People who are desperate (read: have nothing to lose)
- Media coverage focusing on very few issues
And these issues play into each other.
