Democrats in Washington, D.C., are furious — not because violent crime was spiraling out of control, but because President Donald Trump did something to stop it.
A new Washington Post-Schar School poll found that roughly 8 in 10 D.C. residents oppose Trump’s deployment of the National Guard. The poll was conducted between Aug. 14 and Aug. 17 and surveyed 604 D.C. residents with a +/- 4.1 percentage point margin of error.
This outrage was unsurprising, given that the propaganda press peddled the same narrative in recent days. A quartet of so-called journalists at CNN reported on Aug. 14 that a crowd in D.C. was “outraged by federal law enforcement presence.”
One local the outlet interviewed, Mara Lasko, called the presence of National Guard troops “crazy,” before adding that it makes people angry. “And I don’t think they’re actually doing anything productive to make our city a safer place,” Lasko added.
PBS News’ Geoff Bennett reported on how residents are “adapting to life under federal control” as if soldiers were staging a military coup rather than standing guard against thugs.
One protester PBS News interviewed said Trump was “trying to make it less and less safe and make you more and more scared” and that “most people do not want this.”
The New York Times’ Alyce McFadden acknowledged in her recent piece on the protests, however, that the district residents are “overwhelmingly liberal.”
And that’s the point. D.C. is overwhelmingly liberal, which is why these polls and puff pieces don’t actually mean much. Of course statistics showing roughly 8 in 10 D.C. residents oppose the National Guard would sound more compelling if more than 70 percent of respondents weren’t Democrats — whose reflex answer to anything involving Trump...

Now we will hear about how crime is good for the economy. The price of crack and prostitutes is already going up in some areas.
Lazy feral people living as close as possible to Uncle Money are upset that order is being imposed over chaos.
No soup for them.
The rip-roaring economy of the Washington, DC Legal Teams in and around the DC/VA area has been set back decades, maybe more. Criminal Attorneys will have to find gainful employment elsewhere, if they expect to prosper.
Oh, yes, if you broke a window, there will be a job for the glass technician.
If you kill somebody, the funeral home will have a job!
Stopping crime is racist.
“adapting to life under federal control”
It’s essential for the dems to have as many hellhole cities as possible where there is a permanent subclass that has no hope for the future. The dems tell the subclass that they are being kept down by those evil Whiteys, and they need to give money and votes to democrats and they’ll be all right.
The dems need more city folk killed so as to guarantee the subclass never ends. That way they remain in power.
If the murders stop, the dems lose power. Nothing is more important to the dems than power.
So they hate Trump, who is reducing the number of killings.
They got me again.
Oh. Wait ...
The Dems will have the criminal vote. But then they already do.
If I were Presiden item list
#17 Make all of the democrats in Washington,
D.C.,walk the streets between 2:00am and 4:00am.
Then get back to me about crime problems.
Who cares what 8 out of 10 losers think? DC needs to be pristine and gorgeous for our 250th. If the leftists want to annihilated each other, I’m comfortable with that. We just don’t want to see it; keep it clean.
Had Hussein O’bama sent in the Guard to quell crime in DC the same 80% would have been thrilled.
Per Grok the weekly number of homicides in 2024 was 3.6 in Washington D.C.
Going to zero is an accomplishment that may become more clear as time goes on.
