"Biting the people that help them" -
Since you're obviously unaware, the BLM movement is the first of its kind to successfully mount massive political mobilization against police brutality and mass incarceration since the War on Drugs began. For decades liberals of every stripe , including self professed " classic liberals" have been trying to place civil liberties front and centre of political discourse - from civil forfeiture abuse, to the militarization of police , drug decriminalization and addressing the spread of mandatory minimum sentencing . For years there have been calls for police reform and warnings of increased threats to civil liberties and for the first time in a long time there is an energetic movement driving this discourse aimed at ending systemic injustices
- but your hot take is that these activists are "dogs".
In today's climate, if you want to call yourself a Liberal, you should at the very least inform yourself of threats to liberty ... or maybe you really ought to be a Republican.
