With DC, we're likely to see a big call for beefing up police and cracking down on disorder when the National Guard departs.
A large call from whom? The people of DC never asked for his "help," and they never wanted or needed it. Crime was going down there long before Schlump decided to sic the National Guard on that city. I'm pretty sure the residents of DC will heave a huge sigh of relief when the Guard finally leave.
Schlump doesn't really care about crime in the least. He's just obsessed with big, blue cities with lots of black and brown people that he believes were "born to be criminals." He has it in for black and brown people, AND he wants to punish cities that didn't vote for him, especially the ones that have been designated as "sanctuary cities," by making life miserable for the people who live there, especially the black and brown ones. Sending the National Guard in to "clean up" cities like DC and Chicago is just a way for him to accomplish all of the above while also making himself feel like a big hero. Calling for better conditions in cities won't make a shred of difference to him, because that's not what his agenda is.

OP
Dems need to be creative. Look for ways to succeed rather than looking for ways to capitulate.

Orange man has survived impeachment twice. He has reason to believe he is invulnerable...

You obviously haven't listened to Pritzker, Newsom, Mayor Johnson, Mayor Muriel Bowser
