There simply aren’t enough troops, even if you include active duty military stationed overseas, to control 300 million people across all 50 states.

They couldn’t even control L.A.

P.S. DC is unique, in that it is a “federal district” unlike any other city in the US.

P.P.S. Guess what the media isn’t talking about while troops are deployed in DC?
