Since nearly all govt employees are democrats? Defund the police of course wasn’t what they were saying during Jan 6. It’s anarcho-tyranny. Anarchy for leftists during blm/chaz who got off easy, tyranny for enemies of the left. Also they wanted the money of the police rerouted to other leftist govt adjacent orgs. Also they own the ngo complex.
If a major goal of the left is reducing wealth inequality, or reducing group disparities, of course that requires state power.
Also it’s not 2008 anymore.
