Were the BLM protests trying to violently overturn the election and install their preferred candidate?

There can be no equivocation between a protest sparked by continued police brutality against citizens; and a protest sparked by massive lies from a leader with fascistic tendencies trying to overturn his democratic loss.

One is a net social good, even if it had deplorable bouts of violence; the other is strictly a social evil.

More accurately, and interesting:

One group perceives widespread (their word 'systemic') racism -- the reality is that is isn't widespread, at all. Yet, they riot.

Another group perceives widespread election fraud -- the reality is that is wasn't widespread, at all. Yet, they riot.

It's all freedom of speech, except for the violence and destruction, right?

This is also your perception that the racism isn't whitespread. Step into the shoes of a dark skinned person and we'll see what your perception is then.

Racism must affect all skin colors equally before you will call it widespread? Interesting.
