Stephen Miller is apparently so racist he can’t even see nonwhite people on the streets of DC protesting his goons," historian Kevin Kruse commented on Bluesky. “Wait, is that what they meant by ‘colorblind conservatism?’”

Pam Fessler, author and former correspondent for NPR, gave Miller a swift fact check in a post on X.

”Besides Miller’s nastiness, he’s wrong," she explained. “Guess what? A majority of DC residents, regardless of race, oppose Trump’s unnecessary just-for-show federal takeover.”

Podcaster Bob Cesca, meanwhile, warned Miller to be careful in antagonizing Washington, DC residents.

”I take comfort in the idea that, for the rest of his miserable life, he’ll wonder how much phlegm and/or feces has been added to his restaurant meals," he joked on X.

    unnecessary, just-for-show takeover

    It’s not “just-for-show.” In the case of a Civil War, they can now wall off DC, creating a fortress with an oceanfront escape route, and the White House in the center.

    Anyone trying to take back the seats of power - White House, Capitol, Supreme Court, is going to have to breach that fortress and fight their way to those power centers, or at least the White House.

    Taking full control of DC was just the first step.
