First off, it's just wrong. The military
00:00:02
is not there. They're not there to
00:00:03
protect people. They're there to
00:00:04
accomplish missions that oftentimes mean
00:00:06
killing people. They're trained in
00:00:07
combat.
00:00:08
Actually, in DC, they're there to pick
00:00:09
up the trash.
00:00:10
Yeah, but they're trained in combat, not
00:00:11
crime or law. They have the wrong
00:00:13
attitude about civilians, the wrong
00:00:14
complexion of civilians. Cops are taught
00:00:16
to protect. The military sees people as
00:00:19
potential threats. That's what they're
00:00:20
trained to do. And they're untrained in
00:00:22
collecting evidence and building a case
00:00:23
that will hold up in court. Even even if
00:00:25
they're able to arrest or prevent crime,
00:00:27
they won't be able to put criminals
00:00:28
behind bars. But I feel like as
00:00:30
Democrats, we we get the right idea, we
00:00:33
take it too [ __ ] far, we decide
00:00:35
there's a narrative, we have a knee-jerk
00:00:37
reaction to everything, we are not as
00:00:38
focused as we should be, or we
00:00:40
prioritize social virtue or trying to
00:00:42
achieve social virtue and ignore the
00:00:45
actual material and psychological
00:00:46
well-being of Americans. And then the
00:00:49
Trump administration sees that hole and
00:00:51
runs right through it with a [ __ ]
00:00:54
bullet train of macacious awful behavior
00:00:57
to accomplish something else that's
00:00:58
unrelated.
