Honestly, I don't think they really gained that much political capital. Not since the civil rights era. What's happened as of recently? People tweeted #blacklivesmatter, talked about how awful it is that black people deal with police brutality, and then a few places voted to defund their police departments. None of that seems to be anything that actually helps that black community, or improves their situation in any way. BLM just became the political issue du jour for a month, some people protested while some journalists talked about it, and then interest fizzled out. In fact, police brutality is still just as much an issue today. It seems trans rights is more talked about nowadays, though. Looking at their racial breakdown and it's not surprising that they have more political capital.
