This is about doing what’s right and winning elections. If we don’t win elections we are doomed to communism so nothing else really matters. Securing these cities will win MAGA new voters in the form of democrats “walking away” from their party.
And now we understand Pinochet
I’ll say the quiet part out loud. They need to be ready if (when) the Rats try to steal the 2026 midterms.

When cities/states go rogue, and kit impairs the freedoms and safety of citizens - it is proper for the Federal government to bring them back into line with the laws of the land....
I don’t think that is how it works.
Actually that’s exactly how it works. Its all spelled out in the NDAA that Congress passes every year.
Thanks for the information.
