Good lord yes. The second I heard the phrase "defund the police" I immediately had a vision of the conservative attack ads:
Open on an elderly woman, sitting quietly at home knitting. Suddenly we hear a window smash, and we see a burgler, in a ski mask and everything, attacking her window with an axe. She lets out a scream and runs for her landline. She dials 911, breathing heavily, and says "Hello, I need help-". But an automated voice on the other line cuts her off "we're sorry, due to recent funding changes, the operating hours of emergency services has been reduced. To leave a message, please stay on the line". As the voice drones on, we zoom in on the phone, hear a muffled scream, and the phone drops dramatically onto the floor. Fade to black, brought to you my Americans for a more American America.
... I mean seriously, the attack ad writes itself. I would honestly donate money every month to a nonprofit who's sole job was to find progressive activists, and run whatever shit they are saying through a focus group. I'm in favor of police reform and everything those activists are saying, but they need to get their shit together.
