Weekly Standard article on Russia's BLM promotion on social media

For months we’ve been hearing that the Russian government meddled in last year’s presidential election to aid the candidacy of Donald Trump. And now news has emerged that part of that dastardly campaign was supporting ... Black Lives Matter?

There are two ways to read this news. First, if one accepts that the Russians’ sole objective was to help Trump, then they appear to have determined that Black Lives Matter is a net electoral negative for the Democrats. There’s evidence that they’re right: BLM becomes less popular the more people hear about it
quote:
A different possibility is not that the Russians promoted BLM to hurt Clinton and help Trump, but instead to sow discord. That appears to be the favored reading of the establishment.
So is BLM a net negative for Democrats? Or is it here to create division and discord for the benefit of foreign entities? Or both?

The best part about this is that the Democrats have to actively state that BLM hurts them.

fully 57 percent of Americans have a negative view of the activist movement, which some have found responsible for alarming increases in violent crime in cities where it is particularly active
Nice to see a majority of Americans recognize this.

If they were smart, they'd distance themselves from this terrorist organization.
