On Fox News they show a montage of Democrats who support it but then I read an article on Yahoo that states that it’s just a narrative Republicans are trying to push and most democrats don’t support it.

It was a dumb tag line someone came up with. A few people copied it. Since then, the Repubs have been trying to smear it on ALL Democrats.

My take is that most do not... I believe Biden does not either.

I've run into a single person who spoke in support of it.... and my take is he is an idiot.

Don’t think so. Seems supported by the younger crowd and a sprinkle of older folks.

Many aren't supporting it but they're not speaking out against it either.

It was a concession to BLM and party fringe and even some places that started down the path of defund have sobered up as minority bodies piled up in subsequent crime and murder waves in those cities.

Partisan writers trying to dismiss it as some sort of false narrative by Republicans should probably spend their time calling out the defund types instead of trying to pretend it's not a real thing.

P.S. Far more pervasive than defund is the fact that a number of politicians have thrown their police forces under the bus. They may not have defunded but they have demoralized their police forces where any shooting, even of armed gang members can get them thrown under a bus.

It is an idea pushed by idiots and uber-leftie commie revolutionaries. The police will be replaced by BLM thugs, the gangs we see looting stores in NYC and LA, or the hordes of illegal invader military-age males the CIA is flying into cities all over our country in the dead of night. That's the plan.

many dims in power do support it. your vegetative figurehead supported it.
and very few who don't support it speak out against it. that's no 'smear,' it's reality.

Most of the younger crowd is naive or are your typical "bubble world" suburban liberal that has no real grasp of the situation having spent their whole life in nice places with no clue about urban realities.

I am sure there are many who don't support or care enough about it.

But they obviously won't or can't get on air or social media and speak Against it.

when they do They'd get uncle tom'd out.
