The Occupation Of Washington Is Pure Panic Porn. You Are The Target

For months last year the American people endured hundreds of race riots, anarchist crime sprees, and literal occupations.

Continuing the troop-bashing, in July Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi compared the federal officers defending the Portland Federal Courthouse against weeks of nightly Antifa rioting to Nazi "Stormtroopers." And on and on and on.

Democratic politicians took those riots and used them to reverse political course and order the complete militarization of downtown Washington, intentionally spreading the fear and distrust deeper into America in an effort to make their point.

A once-calm relative, one Marine officer candidate told me this week, drew up waypoints to evacuate his family from their suburban community far outside Washington.

Make no mistake: They know as well as any other reasonable person in Washington that 25,000 troops and razor wire aren't needed, but protection isn't the goal here - the occupation of Washington is a massive undertaking in panic porn.

Poorly trained Capitol Police officers and a Democratic mayor and House that declined security reinforcements don't make the rioters who attacked the Capitol a marching rebel army, as we've seen in the weeks since when the televised theater spread to state capitals only to end with more reporters than protesters on the much-touted day of attack.

Keeping the capital under military occupation while the former opposition leader is put on trial isn't necessary for national healing, as Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer now insists.
