How is it possible that this is the only thing the democrats seem to care about? Yet they seem fully complacent with Trumps destruction of the US economy, democracy and international relationships?

Am I wrong though?
There were massive riots from the BLM movement after the death of George Floyd, which is fair enough. But now that we are witnessing the US being turned into an oligarchy and the annihilation of 80 years of US diplomacy, what do we see? Almost no opposition, just some small scale protests.

Nice argument. Surrendering without a fight just like your politicians. Seems like Bernie Sanders is the only one with some guts
We were already an oligarchy. We’re just not pretending anymore that we aren’t.
Just because it was bad before doesn’t mean its not getting much worse now.
Simple. Seeing video of a cop murdering a black man in cold blood, while other officers fend off help, is far more visceral than the other items you mentioned.
This is the actual answer to their, although ill-phrased, reasonable question. If something equally visceral occurred that represents the other issues, the same will happen.
