Until COVID hit, I don’t think any of these cities had been stronger,


And had lower crime rates, than they’ve had over about the past 20 years or so. In general, I don’t think they’ve ever been more vibrant - not on whole suffering the malaise due to the evolving Information Age economy which is leaving so many behind in more rural areas.

Over the past month, violent crime in many cities has increased. Whether or not that trend will continue remains to be seen.

We already know that some feds in combat fatigues prowling the vicinity of federal buildings will do nothing about spiking crime rates. Which generally impact parts of cities not near federal courthouses or other federal buildings.

What they have been shown to do is reignite passions in protests, to create provocative imagery for use in future Trump campaign ads. That’s all it does, and that’s the only purpose of these domestic military deployments.
