Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

It feels like as soon as Biden got into office a lot of people on the left threw their BLM signs in the garbage

This happens every time a lib gets into the Waffle House - the liberals will ride the coat tails of the resistance the left puts up against the establishment, and go to sleep as soon as the "good cop" is back in the driving seat. It happened with Obama and Clinton, too.

If you look at it real hard, you'll see that right-wing agitation builds most of it's momentum when there is a lib in charge - there's a good reason they say that fascism can only sprout after liberals have loosened the ground for it.
