Antifa and BLM have done us a service. The real problem is government and corporations selling everyone's future to enrich themselves. As they have done with China for the past 50 years.
Another problem is the government and media seeking to divide people, because without a bogeyman people would be asking pretty quickly what the fuck is the point of government and media.
Now ordinarily, the former problem flies under the radar because who is going to scrutinize what happens in Washington, or Nike's boardroom, when you have kids to feed, a wife to eat, shit to do.
The same lack of scrutiny, or even difficulty of scrutiny if you live in a geographical area that is too skewed, makes their FUD far too effective in the latter problem.
But with the riots last year, people sure are paying attention to what the government is doing. And every clown move stretches the rubber band a little tighter.
And while left and right division still exists, the left is now heading towards a civil war with the far left, while the right can just take care of itself and watch them eat each other.
That is not changing. The right is not aggressive. And the right still has turnip farms to tend far removed from city liberals. Just as the city liberals still have BuzzFeed articles to write far removed from the turnip farmers who they were told are all Klansmen. So any realignment within the left isn't going to come from attraction or openness to the right. It isn't going to come from "You know, Chauvin might not have asphyxiated Floyd." It's going to come from finding that they themselves are on the right of the extreme left. It's going to come from "Cops shouldn't intervene in stabbings when the stabber is black!" Hence my saying Antifa and BLM are useful to us.

This kind of complacency is why the right finds itself in the ineffectual position it is currently in.
