No one on conservative twitter can address the elephant in the room that the left’s entire complaint is about trump’s specific force on Monday. Trump knows it. The left knows it. Why do you want them to win he narrative, while history is lost because we sat out?

Use the military because a CVS was looted, this is the depraved modern GOP

What if 500,000 stores were looted, burned, destroyed, threatened in 20-30 states? That's the scale we have. I am sure you cannot comprehend that, but the grownups will do it for you.
