      Defund the police is a thing the left went for, the rest was stuff the right over reacted to. People didnt go out on the streets over fucking equity vs equality, they did it cause cops keep murdering black people. This is why you dont use academic terminology to express wanting basic rights, they will use it against you. Be blunt

        They’ll use anything they want against you, whether it’s a Marxist academic phrase like “critical theory”, corpo jargon like “DEI”, or online slang phrases like “stay woke”. Hence the phrase “When I feed the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a Communist”. You can say the most innocuous thing and they’ll spit blood at you.
