Soon after the protests residents started taking down their American flags and putting up Black Lives Matter signs on their lawns. This is either the result of fear of being ostracized, a deterrence against looting or just virtue signaling in actual support. This is what a cultural revolution looks like, a small towns history is eradicated, town leaders sell out, useful idiots bow down, cowards acquiesce and the few patriots that are left load their weapons.
This is how the Nazis gained widespread "acceptance" in the 1930's. They never won a majority in an election, but once Hitler became chancellor, their strongarm tactics and bullying made people too scared to oppose them.
While you are correct the Nazis never won a majority, they were the party with the most votes and seats by far.
And formed coalitions with other parties to take power.
Very much like the parliamentary system in the UK or Israel today.
