(90,407 posts)... and The couple of members of the squad didn't represent the 99.7% of dems who didn't support dtp as policy.
Winger media was presenting the squad as the whole democratic party and conflating democratic party policy with a couple of dems support for defund the police sentiment or policy.
Like CRT now there was little pushback from the left in regards to the winger media narrative on DTP so there is a ton of people who think the Democratic party as a whole supported defund the police policy.
Like CRT bullshit we need to push back on these narratives when they come out and not let them fester
My concern is next year the right will try to use CRT as the cudgel and make democratic candidates run away from CRT losing votes from people of color.
