When you reduce the effectiveness of the police, common sense tells us that the criminals will become even more bold. The Liberal narrative of nice people of color being harassed by the police was not exactly the whole truth. Harassment did occur, but there were also a lot of bad people out there, that are not victims but are the victimizers.
The problems is people on the Left tend to use emotional thinking which makes you think in terms of all or not based on a broad brush. One needs to use cool reason to see that all or not, is not rational or real.
All or not emotional thinking is analogous of a person in love, who can see no wrong in the person they love. Everyone else around them, who are not emotional caged, can be more objective. If and when their emotions sour, now they they can see no right in the other person. Other people around them may try to help them see the good that was done, but to no avail. One cannot successfully deal with an emotional thinker, with data and reason alone, since they see what they feel. Fox reached the rational people and got tired of the gilded lovers, on the Left, who cannot control their linear thinking.
Another analogy is the abused wife, who loves her mate and makes excuses for their behavior. She will even blame her friends if they try to make get her to become objective to the real source of her pain. Burying the Hunter Biden Laptop story was sleazy. But since the base loves this abusive mate, they will make excuses and resist the truth.
