    That too. Oops. That's a notable oversight on my part. He'll write a 10,000 word article on defund in The Atlantic that nobody will read but right-wingers (and libs too) will quote.

    "Violent attacks upon minorities must be understood through the prism of public attitudes towards the law and law enforcement. The 'defund the police' movement began a process of..." SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT THE FUCK UP!

      It will probably be some bullshit about how that movement sent "rational cops" to the arms of the far right.

        That certainly sounds like an argument he would make. I can't believe what nonsense passes for "discourse" in the US. Frum the nth example of something who can make vapid, trite argumentation sound good. He used to be a GOP speechwriter. He must be chomping at the bit for non-Trump GOP president.

        He does stuff like ridicule Trump for fetishizing the concept of something being "right out of central casting". But Frum, himself, wants a version of that too. He wants war and violence and hate but he needs for it to be DeSantis or an equivalent. Some vile turd who can speak complete, sane sentences, is in the right-wing brain decent, and who won't embarrass Frum by being a moronic ass hat and kid's party clown in an ill-fitting suit.
