But realize that there is a faction within BLM that eschews electoral politics, eschews the democratic (and republican) party, and would love to blow the whole system to kingdom come. What comes after is not something they have completely thought off. This makes it even easier to penetrate.

The young women in Seattle... are part of that school of thought. One of them is very religious, fundy. But she is African American so that does not particularly surprise me, Religiosity is very high among both Hispanic and AA populations. SO I give that a lot less importance than some do here.
