      I’ve had luck pointing out this is the same song and dance that happened after George Floyd’s murder. Abolish became defund became reform became give them even more money. The Dems are trying to speedrun that progression already too.

        True, but I think the point Sleve was getting at was attempting to lead people into the correct but hard to accept positions of abolishing the police and US military by getting them to agree with a much easier to accept premise, abolishing ICE. If we can convince people to abolish ICE, then it’s a whole lot easier for them to imagine abolishing similar institutions as well
