An alternative inference is that BLM popularity is waning *because Trump is saying less about it*. His Twitter feed has made few references to "BLM"/"Black Lives Matter" over the past 6-8 weeks, and he's also used terms like "rioting" and "looting" much less often than in June. https://t.co/n5m2D4EOt5 — PolitiTweet.org

There's some polling out lately that shows a decline in support for BLM following a sharp increase in June. Some people have taken that to mean that Trump/Republican messaging on BLM is breaking thru. Plausible, but I'm not sure that's so straightforward. https://t.co/yKBz5SC1OC https://t.co/NqEWTecGAO — PolitiTweet.org

In other words, some of the popularity boost for BLM in June may have reflected a reaction against Trump / negative partisanship. Voters give Trump TERRIBLE marks for his handling of race relations and people may flock to the opposite position of whatever he says on these issues. — PolitiTweet.org
