[RandySF]

This is interesting from the new Monmouth poll: Just 18% of voters think “defund the police” means “get rid of the police,” while 77% believe it means a call to action to change the way police operate.

As Dave Weigel notes, the latest wave of Trump campaign ads portrays “Biden’s America” as one without any police.

2. Exactly. The phrase is a very poor choice of words.

3. 18% means that even Trumpkins understand what people are saying

so those who say "use different words" are wrong. People do understand what is meant and what is going on.
