People gag on the slogan "Defund the police" and use it as an excuse to support Republican politicians and policies, but the facts are that maybe one or two cities are actually cutting the police budget, and no one is really for defending the police or actually defunding the police ...
Except, Donald Trump in pulling Federal money from Sanctuary Cities was threatening police departments with insufficient funds -- AND every Republican voted against Joe Biden's aid to Cities and States, a lot of which was for Police Services.
Republicans are the party that want to defund the police, but they don't want you to know about what they are really doing, and Republicans won't defend the police or let them do their jobs when it comes to defending the Capitol or Jan. 6th.
Republicans showed utter contempt for the Capitol police, against awarding them medals and recognition for their valiant service against Trump's Republican DC marauders.
That's why these slogans, this messaging is so important. If Democrats don't get it exactly right then Republicans twist the meaning of everything with lies, and often even when they do get it right Conservative media ignores it or lies about it.
