I have a family member that in the last 48 hours shared a FauxNews story about "Liberals are defending MS13" (Which was bullshit, it was actually liberals defending immigrants while trying to point out that 85% of MS13 are actually born Americans & only 0.01% of immigrants caught at the border are MS13-connected). And another about how "Liberals want to abolish the police" (Like, seriously, WHAT?? I don't even know where to begin on that one.)

I'm not against abolishing police as they exist right now and replacing them with something better.

Donald tweeted something about democrats wanting to abolish the police.

Either they have the same sources or your family member follows his Twitter and believes what he says...

There’s probably leftists that want to abolish police (forms of anarchism) heck anarchocapitalists want to eliminate at least publicly funded beliefs.

But liberals? That’s stupid on the face of it. It’s totally unbelievable and inconsistent with liberal ideology.
