HERE IS A REFERENCE
Tara, one of your reader lamented that you had not references or examples to suport your point. It is a valid criticism. Here I will provide what I think is an example:
The is a google search for "Defund the police":
Some liberals will explain this does not mean literally what it says... to abolish cops by removing their funding...
"Stop cop crime" would be a unifying message. Instead saying "defund" shows a real HATE of the cops. That is divisive message and I agree with Tara, the over-reach here looses many people who value the cops.
The left cannot see how they are seen, so they don't realize the massive costs, it pays for this arrogance. Indeed I believe four years of Trump was one such cost.
