Even if we grant, for the sake of argument, that there is a connection, it cannot be assumed that the election of a Democrat president gave rise to the upsurge in activism. It might well be the other way around, that the upsurge in activism may have been a causal factor in the election of a Democrat president.
It has been argued by a few people that this has historically been the case. For some reason you assume the opposite, but I don't recall you explaining why.
