Do you remember the old phrase, "It's a free country"? Unlike, say, the old Soviet Union or today's China. That in mind, you'd think our Rulers would think twice before turning Washington DC into a modern variant of the Forbidden City. But no, apparently not.
Perhaps they believe their own marketing and genuinely think that 26k+ soldiers are needed to protect the sacred space of our hallowed governance from crazed mobs of, ahem, Proud Boys and people with the letter Q on their shirts. Yeah, and Joe Biden really got 80 million votes.
No, this is a show of force which says, we own you, we're in power and don't you even think of disputing that. And people on the Left somehow believe they're anti-establishment. Far out. Regardless, I'd say Tucker nails it. Watch the video (sorry, you can't, it's been censored) or read the transcript:
So where's it going to end? George Orwell put it well to the unfortunate Winston, "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever.”
Make that a rainbow boot, please, and OK, maybe Tucker's fears of a latter day Thought Police are exaggerated. Then again, maybe they're not, to the tune of an unprecedented military occupation of the nation's capital.
Cheers,
