"Useful idiot" is a pejorative term for a person who propagandizes for a cause without fully understanding (due to naïveté, stupidity, or on purpose) the cause's goals, who is cynically used by the cause's founders. It is used to describe otherwise sensible people who become, due to misrepresentations or outright lies, susceptible to Marxist/communist/socialist propaganda and manipulation.
Why is this important? Because this is what Black Lives Matter is doing: using useful idiots to advance its cause. One of BLM's founders is Alicia Garza, a trained Marxist. Why is that significant? Because it explains BLM's agenda. Marxism's (and BLM's) ultimate goal is to ignite class warfare to provide an opportunity for the seizure of political power. But the U.S. was created as a classless society with no royalty, no nobility, no caste system. Everyone is equal under the law. How, then, do Marxists ignite class warfare? By creating false classes, then propagandizing them into existence. This is where useful idiots come into play. Once people believe that these false classes exist, class warfare can begin.
The actions of three useful idiots illustrate how they foster class warfare. They use what Teddy Roosevelt called the "bully pulpit" to propagandize. There's the Democrat party. Then there are two useful idiots of note, one whose name AT readers will recognize and a name most AT readers will not recognize: Barack Obama and Lewis Hamilton.

There fixed it.
Sure but what comes out of these idiots sets the stage for the PC culture in which we live.... and that has the insidious effect of spilling over into everything. We already expect it in our schools where it has to be fought against tooth and nail, we know it will be totally pervasive with everything coming from the LSM but it also regularly creeps into many other areas of our lives including those we respect and read and listen to regularly... radio, tv and internet political commentators, Christian preachers etc. No matter how much we respect some of these people, they too need to be called out on a regular basis to let them know when they've allowed or succumbed to a PC lie that is distorting their thinking.
