"Mostly Peaceful" - Detaching Violence From BLM, Attaching It To Election Protests

While America burned, Democrats and their media insisted loudly that the Black Lives Matter protests were mostly peaceful. Aside from all the people dead and wounded, the $2 billion in damages across entire ruined cities, and the sheer level of devastation nationwide.

Despite that, Democrats and the media claimed that the BLM riots were mostly peaceful by arguing that when considered across time and space, most of the protest activity was not violent. This was an exercise in serious hairsplitting with Democrats and the media classifying a protest as "peaceful" before it somehow "turned violent". That meant that a rally which was not engaged in violence (none of these rallies were actually peaceful in the Gandhi sense) from 11 AM through 5 PM, but then turned into a full-on riot from 6 PM through 11 PM was a mostly peaceful rally that suddenly turned violent.

Bolstering this narrative spin were claims that...

1. The violence was caused by police escalation

2. The violence was caused by right-wingers masquerading as left-wing protesters. The media then pushed the story of 'Umbrella Guy' as if one right-winger supposedly smashing windows in the midst of a left-wing riot proved that it was all the work of right-wing plants.
