They don't make up the whole spectrum. Let's put BLM at the left edge of the spectrum or out that way to some extent. The events of last summer pushed the mushy suburban middle of the spectrum firmly over into BLM support. BLM was literally twicw as popular as Trump last summer with two in three Americans supporting it. If on some issue of the day moderate voters are ending up en masse at the left end of the spectrum then something extremely fucked up must be happening at the right end of the spectrum.

Now BLM may eventually put their foot in it with support or backing for various issues and future situations that turn a lot of supporters away from it. It may become discredited in the eyes of the majority of Americans and lose its agency with the public. But as long as things are still fucked up at the right end of the spectrum people will gravitate to a person, persons, organisation or organisations who can articulate their peaceful opposition to the fucked up situation on the right and their desire to see change happen.

This whole mass racial justice movement is still in its infancy and it'll take a while to see how it shakes out. Today's leaders/spokesmen may well not be tomorrow's.
