All of the MAGA chuds I went to school think this way.
We know that Defund the Police means we want to cut their ridiculously bloated budget and use that money elsewhere to better our communities. All the idiots hear is that there aren't going to be any police to respond to their 911 calls when the scary brown people break into their houses. Trump is going to use this to rally his base of morons and they will all eat it up. The goal is the same, the wording could be better. Everyone attacking Dood for stuff like this is ridiculous.
It's not even the MAGA chuds. You could call it anything you want and chuds gonna chud, it's the moderate wing of your own side.
This thread oscillates between thinking moderates don't exist to thinking they do, but they're really Republicans so whatever. In reality, the Democrats are a mostly moderate party (the thread knows this too, which is odd), so running with something that's going to be super popular to the smaller slice of your party, but unpopular to the larger piece isn't very smart.
It seems like pushing for a "Community Policing" label or something is a gimmie here. The Tucker Carlsons of the world are still going to do their thing, but what college-educaed, suburban white woman is going to stay home for that?
