I can't believe many people really believe all that.  Some radical do no doubt.

I think what we will see is some highly publicized efforts to fund "social programs" in inner cities and perhaps reduce police funding by a bit, and in 3-4 years it will go back to "normal".


that may be true but right now youve got members of congress as well as various city elected officials wanting to defund police forces

I suspect they really mean "reduce funding and spend the money on social programs ...".

I do not believe ANY larger city will eliminate the police force.  The city would effectively die in short order.

Gun sales always go up whenever there is discord, or when a Democrat is about to be elected.

If some larger city actually eliminated the PD, how can that work?  Just having a lot of guns isn't going to help me personally.  My property would be worthless and I'd have to leave.  I could stay bunkered up here for a few weeks I suppose.

I don't understand the premise at all.

Literally none of these is anything a non-radical liberal desires.  Zero.
And you would know this... how?

Well, let's examine each item cited and ask whether many in the black community have some sympathy for the position:

super late term abortions
letting prisoners out of jail
harboring felons because they are also illegal immigrants
defunding the police
open borders
taking away their right to bear arms

I am pretty sure that LITERALLY many of those things are supported by a fair number of black voters, and SOME liberal white voters.  Do you think MOST liberals actually favor those positions as written?  I don't.  They might favor the last line item.

Cincydawg is indeed be a much better source than Fro, with regards to what "a non-radical liberal desires."

Those are the positions being openly discussed by the LEADERS on that side, and supported by the others with microphones. That’s my point- those in the middle to middle right see that as their other choice. 

in the last several days I have seen Antifa compared to our soldiers on D-Day.  Can you imagine how that makes mainstream (left and right but closer to middle) feel?
This morning Fox website showed the video of an unprovoked stabbing of a NYC cop, but nothing about police getting too violent with protesters.
CNN showed a Philly cop striking a protester in the head with brutal force, but nothing about the 300 or so cops injured or killed so far. Again, extremes which make a dialogue nearly impossible. 
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

I saw the meme about "the original antifascists" and D-Day.  It's true in one sense, but there was an "Antifa" by that name before Hitler took over.

These memes are mostly ridiculous attempts to compare things that are not comparable.

I kinda liked her but she was shot down by the dems cause she didnt lean left enough
Lol. No. She was shot down by the establishment Dems because she didn't lean RIGHT enough. She was a rising star in the Democratic party UNTIL they went after her as retribution over quitting her position at the DNC and being openly anti-Hillary Clinton in 2016 because of HRC being a right-wing war hawk. Tulsi is against the endless wars and the occupation of foreign nations. And what happened? The Clinton machine went after her and Hillary openly called her a Russian agent, and got all of the other Dems and the morons in the media who follow every word HRC says to start smearing Tulsi as a Russian agent.

not only that but many of them want to eliminate prisons as well

great for the community
I haven't seen anyone seriously suggest eliminating all prisons. I think that you're confusing eliminating private prisons with all prisons. And there is a very legitimate argument that can be made to end private prisons.

What would be great for the community is to end the stupid, wasteful, endless "war on drugs" and spend that wasted countless billions and billions of dollars on fixing the crumbling infrastructure and education systems in many of the inner cities that are disproportionately affected by the "war on drugs".

The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the entire world. We have 2.3 million citizens in jail. This is more than China- which has OVER 1 billion more people than the US. And many of the prisoners in the US are in on trumped up bullshit charges.

The entire criminal justice system, law enforcement system, and prison system is ass backwards and needs huge foundational change. There is no valid reason on earth that the US should have only 4% of the worlds total population yet have 22+% of the worlds total prison population.

They are, though some amuse me. 

(Is that one supposed to be taken seriously? It's kinda like those shirts that show native american warriors with the header "Original Homeland Security")
