If someone attacks the phrase "Defund the police" and they get information on what it means and it is explained to them and they continue to only focus on that phrase they are willfully ignorant and do not care about the reform measures only about keeping the status quo.

Same for those who quote one line out of context and then refuse to acknowledge the entirely of what was said.

Folks spent days defending Trump for whatever he "meant to say" about a variety of subjects even when his entire speech was shared, now they "know" what Biden meant despite his words being posted.

It's a shame, but it also a waste of time trying to explain further.

Nah, the true ignorance comes from continuing to use a term that you have to always explain it doesn't mean what it really means. It means what you want it to mean. As I said: that's ignorance, I'm just not sure if it's willful or not. 

Do you think Joe Biden stated he's not for defunding the police because he's willfully ignorant or he's not for all those cool things?
