The “leftists” were arguing to demilitarize the police and spend money on mental health programs and when someone is having a mental health crisis, send someone trained to help the person instead of trigger happy untrained police who don’t know how to de escalate
exactly like trump's attack on the supreme court which could also be explained with excuses such as "a non elected institution is trying to curb the will of the people", and that's just the top off my head
And if you haven’t been paying attention, Trump loves the current Supreme Court
In my limited understanding of US politics the supreme court has a history of overriding Trump's actions as he generally favors overreach as a tactic
The fact that Trump has appointed Justices does not make Trump's attacks on the supreme court whenever they cancel any of his radical programs less real.
You are trying to argue that he shouldn't attack the supreme court, while I am arguing destroying institutions is ingrained into populism
