MAGA knows DC takeover isn’t about crime — which is why they love it

Trump's war on the Smithsonian reveals that this is about childish resentment, not safety

Excerpt: "Critics have noted that the troops and agents have been concentrated in low-crime tourist areas, mostly ignoring high-crime neighborhoods where they could actually help. City officials have pointed out the city’s crime rate was already at a 30-year low. Polls show that, far from feeling secure, most D.C. residents say Trump’s actions make them feel less safe. People are so afraid that local restaurants have reported plummeting reservations, as frightened folks stay at home rather than deal with bored and angry law enforcement.

"As usual, the White House’s response is to lie about all of this. Trump and his goons say restaurant traffic is up, which is hilariously false. Vice President J.D. Vance said, 'Let’s free D.C. from lawlessness.' White House deputy chief of staff #StephenMiller had a screeching meltdown on camera, insisting only 'stupid #WhiteHippies' are mad about the takeover and declaring that #BlackPeople love him and the president for their actions. In reality, 80% of Black #DC residents oppose the troop deployment. Fox News dutifully claims this is all about 'crime' — ignoring that the agents sent into the streets are mostly harassing ordinary people, while ignoring actual crime."
