When one has been active in and writing about American politics as long as I have — especially as an avowed partisan — one puts together quite the list of reasons to not trust the other side. When I first got involved in political activism, I wasn’t as given to sweeping generalizations as I am now.
That’s on the Democrats, not on me.
While there are many big issues that the Democrats have been very wrong about for many years, they have gotten really, really wrong about almost everything since the beginning of the Obama era. That, for me, is when I stopped finding much to agree with them about. Emboldened by a thoroughly corrupt media who aids and abets the alt-reality the Dems live in, they’ve gotten progressively (pun most definitely intended) worse in recent years.
Of all of the big, awful ideas to come from the Democrats recently, the defund the police movement was perhaps the worst.
His High Holiness the Lightbringer Barack Obama firmly established the Democrats as the political party of cop haters when he perpetuated the lie about Michael Brown that gave us the Ferguson riots in 2014.
That set the stage for 2020 when the George Floyd riots ignited the fire in the hearts of Democrats to defund all the police.
As Democrat-run cities threw in with thugs like Black Lives Matter and antifa while turning on law enforcement, cops decided they’d had enough.

We really do live in Bizarro World.
Even a blind man can see that the Dems recognize this radical position they have embraced is falling flat with VOTERS. Thus, the backtracking at every level. So, the GOP needs to beat the drum on the Dems hatred for law enforcement, but where are they?
“So, the GOP needs to beat the drum on the Dems hatred for law enforcement, but where are they?”
The GOP seems to be more than content with being a minority. I am in the blue part of Ohio, and I can tell you that to most voters in this area, the Dem failure is really a GOP failure, (in their minds).
All the laughing on FR about low ratings doesn’t address the fact that the public is stupid and indoctrinated, and the media is hugely powerful with those idiots.
I thought that the Republicans are responsible for the defunding of the police . That’s what psaki said. Must be true. Government would never lie.
More money to hire cops will accomplish nothing until the police are free to arrest criminals and the Soros DA’s are driven from office.
They need to mock her relentlessly. We don't have the media and SNL to do it for us so elected officials need to do this and enlisted creative marketing to make the mocking humorous, something the Dems cannot do.
Kruiser points out that the insane “defund” effort has driven so many law enforcement professionals out of the business that cities are going to have a hard time hiring good people now. The candidate pool dried up as a result of their utterly crazy ideas.
The only way Federalize Law Enforcement is ensure that it takes the Federal Police to be “peace makers”; the stinking democrats think they can use the National Guard returning from war zones to keep the badly needed peace... or even better a new “Obama” Army to be peace makers.
We know their sole job will be to protect Antifa from the law abiding civilians. Protect BLM, etc.
