KГlnAthen Trump Plaza - Gutes Hotel am Boardwalk

Arguably, if no-one had captured those horrifying minutes of George Floyd's choking death, then BLM Plaza in faraway Washington DC may never have been created by the city government.

It has seen violence, protests, debate, religious expression, dance, and music in its short life in the national spotlight.

Trump saw political opportunity in the Black Lives Matter demonstrations, seizing on a racially charged 'law and order' message aimed at suburban voters.

But the rowdy uprising at the end of his street should have served as a warning that change was in the air.

Many of those suburban voters who were warned about the dangers of a Biden presidency voted for him anyway. He inherits a nation still grappling with racial injustice, a spiralling pandemic that has killed at least , people, and a substantial number of voters who do not believe he won the election legitimately.

And I doubt BLM Plaza's role as a gathering place for those with something to shout, sing or show will disappear with Trump.

This small stretch of downtown DC may remain a barometer for the mood of the nation — and the next president's political fortunes.
