It is the same thing, it's taking institutions of the democratic state and dismantling them
exactly like trump's attack on the supreme court which could also be explained with excuses such as "a non elected institution is trying to curb the will of the people", and that's just the top off my head
- raw_anon_1111 9mo agoSo now you’re in favor of the state having a militarize police force who already has qualified immunity to take your life unjustly? And if you haven’t been paying attention, Trump loves the current Supreme Court
- breppp 9mo agoGenerally yes, I believe a democratic country without a working police force will implode. In my limited understanding of US politics the supreme court has a history of overriding Trump's actions as he generally favors overreach as a tactic
- raw_anon_1111 9mo agoNo one said “not to have a police force”. They said not to have a militarized unaccountable police force. Three of the nine members of the Supreme Court were appointed by Trump and three other justices are conservative. They almost always rule in his favor and have given him unprecedented power
- breppp 9mo agothe slogan is "Defund the police" not "eliminate the police force militarization" or "realign police funding to mental health". It is an anti-institution rally call. The fact that Trump has appointed Justices does not make Trump's attacks on the supreme court whenever they cancel any of his radical programs less real. You are trying to argue that he shouldn't attack the supreme court, while I am arguing destroying institutions is ingrained into populism
- raw_anon_1111 9mo agoI am saying he hasn’t attack the Supreme Court and you are factually incorrect.
