Democracy Docket @democracydocket.com

After Trump sent 800 National Guard troops to D.C., six GOP-led states offered hundreds of their own guardsmen to help address the capital's supposed "crime emergency." Ironically, many cities in these states experience more crime than D.C.

Nothing ironic about it. If you analyze every accusation, comment or criticism that the Trumpy Republican or MAGA people say about Democrat(ic) people, cities, goals, attitudes, etc it will damn near always reflect exactly what’s wrong with them, their cities, policies, attitudes, etc like a mirror

It isn’t about any crime emergency! It is about a wannabe dictator taking over our country bit by bit & using our military to do that with impunity, thanks to the 6 Trump MAGA SCOTUS judges!

Is it irony, or deflection by those responsible for the economic disparity responsible for the outsized portion of crimes in their communities?

It is the purview of local residents to determine what is an acceptable level of crime in their communities. Nor is it for one president to decide and command forces into sovereign states who do not want federal troops in their townships under the guise of "law" but of "power display and vanity."

Scarier scenario-the only people enlisting or reenlisting are members of home grown militias like the Oathkeepers or Proud Boys. There are probably many more who operate under the radar. Trump’s secret army.
