#1 And majority of Americans believe them.

#2 Thereisn’t a poll in existence that shows even significant support for the Defund the Police movement among conservatives. A national poll by USA Today/Ipsos from earlier this year found that 34 percent of Democrats supported the effort — even though many believed it was a straight cut in funding. Sixty-seven percent of Democrats support redistributing portions of police budgets towards social programs, compared with only 16 percent of Republicans.

On the other hand, plenty of local and national progressives have openly called for defunding the cops. When Barack Obama observed “defund the police” tends to hurt Democrats, Rep. Ilhan Omar pushed back, asserting that it was “not a slogan but a policy demand.” Democrats like Cori Bush, Kamala Harris, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and, yes, Joe Biden — who, when asked, “Do we agree that we can redirect some of the funding?” answered, “Yes, absolutely” — all backed defund police efforts to some extent.

Given the nano-second attention span of this new generation that is limited to what is on their smart phone/table/CRT screen as they decide.

The Socialist Democrats may end selling the idea.

#4 When Barack Obama observed “defund the police” tends to hurt Democrats, Rep. Ilhan Omar pushed back, asserting that it was “not a slogan but a policy demand.”

A policy demand is even more negative than mere hypocritical sloganizing. But Representative Omar is one of those with more hair than brains.

#5 The Ministry of Truth has dropped the old narrative down the Memory Hole. It never happened. Forget all those videos and news articles that you read stating otherwise. Put them out of your mind. This is the narrative now and you will accept it if you know what's good for you.
