Yeah, I saw that too and still decided to stick with the word choice and phrasing. It's true two ways. You know, how Republicans like to speak. They say things that mean moderation to the independents but when heard by the right wing it means something totally different.

Like the "We support our police" signs. I always thought the "our" was superfluous. But when you realize what they are saying with that sign to an audience with whom the police are not friendly and the message becomes clear. We support our (people with property) police (people who will kill you other people if you step out of line).

OR

We support our police when they kill you other people.

Sure not everyone with that sign is like that. Some will think it will help them if they police ever show up. Still not that great of a situation if you think about it. Or they do like their cops because they love watching law and order. But a lot of them that have made the effort to go out and display this? They aren't doing it mindlessly.
