That’s been a thing forever. See also: “states’ rights”, “small government”, “personal responsibility”, none of which actually mean what they say on the label.

The difference here is that the slogans you listed are usually euphemisms for something more insidious. Anti-work and defund the police are the exact opposite—deliberately inflammatory slogans that exaggerate (if not outright contradict) their underlying movements.
The former just seem like good politics: "states' rights" allowed slave owners to court people who were worried about "big government" while conveniently ignoring the grave injustice that's actually occurring. The latter seems like good twitter politics; it'll get good engagement for being so inflammatory, but at the end of the day, most people don't actually agree.
