The only thing that makes Democrats madder than the elimination of one of their slave classes, whether via bayonets or by the intervention of the heroes of ICE, is when Republicans show up Democrats by demonstrating that cities don't have to be urban petri dishes of social pathology and crime. As Rudy Giuliani and el Presidente of El Salvador have conclusively demonstrated, there's a simple solution to crime – crush the criminals. Kudos to Donald Trump for establishing semi-martial law in our nation's capital, a city that should be a shining beacon of efficiency, beauty, and order, and instead is a bubbling cesspool of all the things that happen when Democrat rule festers in an urban environment.
To say that the Democrats coddle criminals is to misunderstand the situation. They don't coddle criminals. They embrace criminals. They love the violence and disorder, the cruelty and the greed. Criminality is the essence of the leftist ideology Democrats adhere to, and it always has been. Although it first really manifested in America in the 60s – remember that “Gee, Officer Krupke” song from West Side Story (I know my show tunes, fellow future conservative cruiser Larry O'Connor!) where the social worker says the little punk is depraved on account of him being deprived – the idea that barbarians should somehow be celebrated goes back to the awful Jean-Jacques Rousseau. He popularized the Noble Savage nonsense. In fact, savages are just that – savages – and normal, decent people should brutally and forcefully suppress them. But the left doesn't see it that way. It sees them as pure and wonderful and deserving of protection and indulgence. This idiocy is why you can't walk around at night in our nation's capital. Or in the day, for that matter.
But soon you may be able to again. Donald Trump has deployed the National Guard and seized control of the useless DC police department. As with most big cities, their choice of police chief was purely a diversity hire. This one's yet another fat woman, like the one in Cincinnati who excused the pack of feral youths who were filmed beating a couple of people for the crime of being white. They are impotent and ridiculous, wielding not a truncheon but shrill pleas to felons to use their inside voices. All they have are excuses. They're not real cops. The one in DC started out as a diversity officer and, of course, she centers diversity in everything she does. This has resulted in a diversity of felonies occurring on the streets of her city.
Of course, there's a Soros prosecutor for low-level crimes in Washington, DC. You've got to give these communists credit; they realize they could do incredible damage by putting a lot of money into low-turnout elections for what should essentially be a nonpartisan office. But they turned them partisan, freeing the criminals and coming down like a ton of bricks on normal people. That's part of the communist game. Alexander Solzhenitsyn explained that the communists would empty the prisons and free the criminals, but heaven forbid any decent citizens cross the line. After all, decent people are easy to bully because they actually care about the law. The law becomes a weapon of control, not of the beast who should be controlled, but of the regular folks who just want to live in peace.
But the left doesn't want us to live in peace. It hates us and wants us to suffer. It likes crime. It thinks we deserve it. That's why it's so against the idea of us keeping and bearing arms. The idea that we should be able to defend ourselves against the semi-human thugs that are its constituents is an abomination to the left. A regular person with a gun defeats the entire scam. That's why, if you're a normal person and you're caught with a gun in one of the regions that remain Second Amendment-free, you're totally going to get prosecuted and your life is going to get ruined. But if some criminal gets caught with a gun, the charge is going to get dismissed. Count on it. The justice system is not designed to provide justice or even public order. It's designed as a tool to maintain Democratic power.
They call it an anarcho-tyranny, where the law is used as a weapon against the people and the criminals are allowed to run free – when people are scared and societies are disordered, revolution is that much easier to ignite. We see it in every single big city that Democrats dominate; every one is a jungle of violence and crime. Don't believe their lies about the crime statistics – they've discovered a way around that, too. They just don't report them, but they also make it impossible for normal people to report crimes. One gentleman on Twitter had to fight off two dirtbags on a Los Angeles subway who were trying to steal his phone and, as normal people normally would, went to report it to the police department. The police told him it would take him 8 to 12 hours. They don't want him to report it. No report, no crime.
But we know there's crime. We feel it. We see it. Every one of us has a crime story. Every one of us knows a victim. But being creatures without a soul, Democrats continue to lie about it. If DOGE legend “Big Balls” had not lived up to his name and saved a woman from robbery and probably rape at the hands of a pack of bipedal animals, earning himself a concussion in the process, we might not have seen Trump act so soon. But he is acting now, and thank goodness.
Sure, the Democrats are mad. Of course, they get mad about everything Trump does. If he cured cancer, they'd be literally shaking. But they're really mad about this because they like crime, and they hate the idea that voters will see an example of a big city that doesn't have to be Thunderdome.
DC must be tamed. We can do it, and we should. Like terrorists, communists, and other assorted degenerates, criminals should be ruthlessly suppressed to the point that they live in unrelieved terror at the thought that the attention of decent people will fall upon them and righteous retribution will follow. It's time to make the scumbags scared. It's time to free the decent people of Washington, DC, and every other city. Compassion to the cruel is cruelty to the compassionate. Washington, DC, should be a violent city – unapologetically violent toward criminals.
