I have to tell you I am continually shocked by the ignorance and hypocrisy of Trump loyalists who defend every executive order he signs, no matter how anticonstitutional, anti-American, or anti-logical (and at the same time refuse to hold him accountable for his campaign promises, such as the release of the Epstein files and names).

They justify the federal government takeover of Washington DC on the basis of another false dilemma: “it’s either drugs, crime, and homelessness or federal government takeover. Take your pick!”

First of all, that’s what’s called a FALSE DILEMMA. A false dilemma is when you only give two extreme options and no other options. Only fools who are not able to reason make false dilemmas.

Second, there are of course many other options besides federal government takeover. Washington DC has the worst gun laws in the nation. Citizens aren’t even able to protect themselves. That would be a good place to start. The government could also sanction the city for not enforcing the law. That would change their tune very quickly. Trump does it to countries, why doesn’t he do it to states? Oh yeah, because sanctions aren’t sexy and don’t provide photo opps for Hegseth and Bondi.

Third, Trump’s “Washington DC is a cesspool with the worst crime in America“ that his supporters are using to justify their false dilemma is a lie. Crime is actually down in Washington DC. It’s not a perfect city, but which city is? And since when does the federal government take over cities with high crime?

Every city in America has high crime, so much higher than Washington DC. Does the false dilemma apply to those cities also? Should the government take over every single community that has high crime until the whole country is a total police state? Is that what people want, because that is where their stupid false dilemma will lead us.

Fourth, and most important, there is absolutely nothing to say that the federal government takeover of Washington DC is actually going to bring crime down over the long-term. Do people understand how expensive it would be to maintain this kind of federal police presence in Washington DC? It would cost billions of dollars and it wouldn’t even be a community, it would be more like a prison campus. It’s a totally unsustainable plan for bringing crime down. And it’s a tyrannical plan.

I find it absolutely shocking how Trump supporters are suddenly pro federal government overreach, pro big government, pro big brother, pro state takeover STATISTS who are looking to the federal government to keep them safe and secure, which is exactly what they have been criticizing the Democrats for doing for years. They have literally become the people they hate. What happened? Some say mass psychosis. That’s probably a good bet because nothing else could ever explain this insanity
