but regardless of anything else I may have said or implied, because the election results give me hope that the issue with police will be resolved and I can stop worrying about good cops, my cop relatives and innocent bystanders getting assaulted or murdered in riots, I wish Bidon luck in however many years he's in office.

Because Mr. Biden rightfully called out the SJWs, now they act like it's a big sin. At the very least, he'll try the middle-ground between "defund or abolish" and the GOP tried-and-true tactic of "do nothing." But since the middle road is the path to nowhere in today's political climate, you can bet "do nothing" will reign supreme.

You know, for all that talk by Trump about bringing everyone together, I feel like he just played to his own constituency or fanbase.

He did - whether it was love or hate, or hate for the other side, he drove the high turnout, which doesn't bode well for 2024 if you want the country to go more blue.

Dragon Ball Fan, in what way will any proposed Defund the Police actions negatively affect your uncle?

Defund police coupled alongside anti-police bigotry is horrible language that seems to illustrate the fragmented and disorganized nature of the left. Those defending it insist it's about reform, yet the hard-liners really just want to abolish law enforcement altogether, I've seen them saying this. If you guys can't shape up your language and rein in those fanatics on your flank so that to outsiders you don't come off as rabid nutcases, you're never going to gain the sort of political capital you want to change society. Because "defund police" won't win political seats in 2022 or 2024 when people WANT law enforcement, society would break apart without it. And you're dealing with less informed voters and those who prefer soundbytes and simple, direct language and slogans. Defund police is meant to offend people's sensibilities. Do you wonder why that's never going to make headway and contribute to a red wave?

I'm willing to bet Dragon Ball Fan's uncle actually killed an unarmed black man and then planted a gun on the body.

Quite fitting you have Odo for your avatar since you behave in the manner of a jackbooted authoritarian snob, like he was at times. And that's just beyond ironic for an SJW who hates real authoritarianism and Trump.

Off to bed, later.
