It's a way of exerting power and control. If you speak up in favor of the evil opposition, the righteous group will do everything in its power to crush you. And this runs both ways in politics; it's not just a "left over right" or "right over left" phenomenon.
80% of companies may very well run contrary to BLM's creed, but now they know to keep their mouths shut and not give a shred of praise to The Bad Orange Man.
