Honestly none of them strike me as true adherents. They just go whichever direction looks like it will give them more power or money. If there is a next administration or some BLM like cause comes back in vogue you'll see them out there preaching to that choir as if they had always supported that cause.
While I agree most of them do whatever they believe will result in more money and power, BLM was a leftist cause so the only time they would support it (or anything inherently leftist) is if their propaganda magically started to fail and their base rejected them over their stance.
I'm an outsider looking in, but isn't that still a problem? The unchecked capitalism which has now created an oligarchy in the US with the media and government being controlled by the richest of the rich? They're so sure no one can do anything about it any more that they manipulate overtly and don't even try to hide what they're doing.
Seeing what's happening in the US is very worrying.
you are absolutely correct. I'm terrified for my family's future.
