I doubt anything will. The George Floyd protests were as much an expression of bottled-up anger at Trump and the pandemic as they were anything else. It would take something astronomical, really on that scale, to do anything like that.
And we dont have bottled up anger against Biden over the genocide of Palestinians? In 2020 we had a crisis that our President was uniquely incapable of handling. And we have the same now. We might not get the same spark but the fuel is there. At best we lack the mass unemployment and sheer boredom that covid brought.
Who do you think we are, the French? The average American's reaction to the treatment of Palestinians is, "oh yeah, that's pretty bad." It's nothing like the way the masses felt about Trump.
I don't this is true at all, I doubt many of largely whiten brunching class were out on the streets rioting
I know one of the Bungie executives got tear gassed at a protest and wrote a
facebook post about it.
