Reposted from David Menschel

When protestors uttered the slogan “defund the police” the national media had a massive freak out. But now that Trump wants to actually gut the FBI and (it would seem) illegally fire 1000s of people who work there, the same media sees it as a curiosity, a dull bureaucratic matter.

But how do you explain the media latching on to that slogan and beating Democrats with it for years?

vickyacab.bsky.social•15 days ago

What do you mean? The media goosestepping to the right has been consistent, and they've bludgeoned Dems and the left with "cancel culture" "dei" and trans panic via made up student bullshit as well. The media being fascist POS about something is...not proof of that things genuine value to mvmt

You think NPR is fascist?

True. But we know the hypocrisy and they bought it

Also protestors said Abolish the Police and it took libs an entire summer of straight ideological battle to get the slogan changed to defund

We may have fought it but it was swapped out very quickly I recall

vickyacab.bsky.social•16 days ago

Defund started appearing seriously in late June but it wasn't universally accepted as the "slogan of the mvmt" until the streets were almost empty

Ill never forget all the arguments with libs who kept saying "abolish" didnt actually mean abolish. Like dude, you learned this slogan last week, stfu. Just watched things get watered down in real time.

If he fires all these people, his unemployment numbers will be through the roof. He really doesn't care. The tyrant was always about revenge. Such a petty, pathetic excuse for a human being.

Very good point!!

Terrorists the world over are like, Yippee, no one's home at the FBI. Let's go!

What happens next is on our dual presidents and GOPs in Congress.
