OPINION: In Trump’s Military Occupation of DC, Crime is Not the Point | This is not only a step toward large-scale militarization and racist suppression, but we could also see it lay the groundwork for privatization and corporate profiteering.

If crime was the point, rather than Trump sending in 2,000+ UNTRAINED National Guard troops, Congressional Republicans could have funded 2,000+ additional TRAINED DC law enforcement officers.

Trump is testing, provoking, always pushing boundaries to see how far he can go before honorable American service members tell him to go fk himself.

This is simply them desensitizing the country to the idea that military occupation is ok.

Along with obvious voter suppression, or an excuse to never hold another election.
