Since gaslighting is now becoming mainstream knowledge let's now let the rest of the world know about nutpicking.
In fairness I'm not deep enough in the trans world to name a lot of names, so maybe in trans circles this Chase person feels omnipresent. But I'd never heard of them.

Since gaslighting is now becoming mainstream knowledge let's now let the rest of the world know about nutpicking.
In fairness I'm not deep enough in the trans world to name a lot of names, so maybe in trans circles this Chase person feels omnipresent. But I'd never heard of them.
But really a lawyer at the ACLU vs Alex Jones or a state governor? Or the "head" of BLM, when for most people Black Lives Matter is a statement of belief and not an official club they count themselves as dues-paying members of?
I agree. Saying that Democrats are for defunding the police because BLM has taken that position is incorrect. Bernie Sanders when asked if he supported defunding the Police said, absolutely not! He said he was for giving more money to the Police. That is the Democrats and Independents position. The Democrats don't follow BLM.
What's even more annoying is that ninety percent of the argument is attacking the quality of the bumper sticker slogan without even addressing the conceptual framework behind the Defund concept.
Yes, "Defund the police" was a disastrous slogan and Charlie correctly identified it as bad news. It likely contributed to Biden's anti-coattails in the 20 election.
But the actual villains of the piece are not the Democratic party or the proggies who weren't in on the idea, nor even the Defunders themselves. It's the right wing distortion machine that took a niche movement slogan, completely misrepresented the argument behind it, and smeared that misrepresentation across the entire party.
It's one thing to tell somebody on team that they're being counterproductive to the cause and another thing altogether to victim blame the whole group for, I dunno, failing to suppress the free speech rights of one faction?
Josh, I agree. And the same analysis can be applied to the slogan "Black Lives Matter" which the right wing has distorted to be an anti white sentiment and was the precursor to the CRT controversy, another right wing distortion concerning race. These distortions are clearly intentional, as the right wing "thought" leaders take advantage of the aggrieved base's lack of critical thinking skills and/or willful ignorance to fundraise and solidify political support through outrage over perceived racism against white people.
I could say that people saying "All Lives Matter" would be protesting over George Floyd as well, but "All Lives Matter" was simply a polite label for people who in their hearts don't care if eggs are broken while making omelets in controlling black communities. They won't come out and say, but basically the attitude is Floyd's death by extrajudicial murder was just a risk that criminals should have for being criminals, and stretching over a little further, Philando Castile was regrettable collateral damage. Oh and Daniel Shaver just flat never happened.
You nailed it Josh. A few radicals said Defund the Police in response to the murder of George Floyd and the Rs turn that it the major policy of the Democrats. They are very good at doing that since they lie continually.
Like if an oncologist started marketing chemotherapy as the "Toxic Injection Tumor Standard" would we yell at every oncologist in the country and refuse to ever use it again?

Yup.

Nutpicking, either a typo for nitpicking or a brilliant trans locution.
I see it a lot. I think people don't realize what a nit is so assume it must be nutpicking.
