“…So when the President sends the National Guard to shut down the chaos in Los Angeles (or any other major city), and you start crying about martial law, guess what? The military’s job isn’t to make you comfortable, it’s to protect this country when local officials fail…”

It’s difficult to describe what it’s like in DC rn without sounding crazy. The National Guard was patrolling at Lincoln Park today. All carrying weapons on a Sunday afternoon in park full of families, kids on scooters, dog walkers, kids drawing with sidewalk chalk, Not great tbh.

"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
