What the hell happened in the second half of 2020?
George Floyd was murdered on May 25. COVID was ravaging the world. The presidential election cycle was in full swing. And I’m sure much more.

George Floyd was the end of May, then the protests and the election over the summer.
US election spam
Bored people from the Coronavirus + US Election, if I were to hazard a guess?
I would guess bot activity related to covid or any other american political thing
