Here's how it goes with the "defund the police" situation. People hear it and their opinions cause them to say "hell ya!", "let me hear more", or "back the blue!" The first and last group shut down after they hear the phrase and any further discussion on what it actually means is ineffective. This is where there can be progress on the side of the receiver. If we can step away from that knee-jerk reaction and continue to listen, we can hear more. Just like those who came up with the headline made a choice, you can make a choice to not shut off after hearing it.

i read things here while reading a whole thread.  I didn't actively go try to find out if it means something different than what I think it means.  If i happen to read something that explains something, that's great, but I'm not lazy for not looking into everything that sounds ridiculous to me.
