In August, the DNC passed a resolution declaring its support for the movement.

By July of the next year, five police officers were murdered with a further seven injured by a Black Lives Matter-inspired domestic terrorist in Dallas.
Perpetrator Micah Xavier Johnson said he was upset by recent police shootings and “wanted to kill white people, especially white officers.” He added, per NYTimes, that “he was upset about Black Lives Matter.”

Johnson’s motivations were explicit, and his inciters are obvious.
Democrats have incited Black Lives Matter and AntiFa for years. The former Deputy Chairman of the Democratic Party itself – Keith Ellison – was roundly condemned for taking a selfie with a “handbook” for the violent, leftist AntiFa group.
This – for unfamiliar audiences – would be broadly like QAnon using WinRed, the Republican platform, to fundraise for its activities. Except unlike BLM, QAnon supporters – however fantastical in their beliefs – have not been responsible for nearly as much violence at BLM has.
