More abolition and defunding of the police cries from the left.
I wonder how the right's position would be "marketed" by the media and the left if there were protests, sit ins, and lines of cars honking horns in protest of the border crisis created by Biden's immigration platform.
This is the exact challenge the right faces in many of its "human-focused" battles. The L controls the narrative (for most part) and more importantly most of its views are "for the protection of people" --- with one amazingly different exception that I can think of
Just think about it:
Immigration -- R hates foreigners, wants none of them here. L loves people of all colors, backgrounds, so let them all in, and heck, let them stay here even when they've done bad, so lets never tell the INS about them.
Gay marriage -- R hates gay people. L loves everyone, love who you want, where and how you want, and then for sure tell us all about it, and put it in a commercial
Police strength / action -- R hates people of color ,and so one acting up should be shot (nevermind that more white people get killed by police every year -- I mean, realistically who even knows that); L thinks we should just listen to Lebron and let people be people. Never harm a criminal (except Chauvin, whom we should harm very much).
Abortion -- R -- they are live, we should keep them so. L -- its ok to kill them right up to the 9th month, and then lets go have a parade to "celebrate our rights".
Sure...I've exaggerated the points here, but ultimately, its much easier, and more marketable, to just let people do anything they want. To do otherwise, would be to offend someone. Or limit them....and we can't have people being limited from acting any way they want (as long as it is similar to what I believe)
