"Defund [some program]" or "[some program] has been defunded" has always meant all funds have been removed and program shuttered. Everybody interprets it that way.
Clearly everybody doesn't hence how unpopular the slogan was.
Thank God, most realized it was a bad slogan including those that use to adore it.
Now there's just those rare few in denial who pop up to needlessly defend it their delusional idea that even most loved and understood it. Or that it didn't need to be constantly translated for what the slogan really means.
