Correct. People should know they cannot rely on police protection right now, so why even bother with putting yourself in that situation? If you live in a town that's been "taken over", you should've been making preparations to relocate, at least temporarily, long ago.
I suppose it's all part of the plan, and @POTUS sending the military in to stop this nonsense is NOT part of that plan because it'd be a trap if he did.
Fitton knows what he's allowed to know or find out with crumbs left specifically for folks like Tom. Patriots are in control, and that should be obvious with drops referencing "leaks". If Tom knows otherwise for certain, it's because he was given a talking point by whomever he's reporting to, to put on his twitter for plausible whatevers. That's if Tom isn't part of the problem himself.

There's a DS asset for every part of this movie just like there are anons/patriots in opposing roles. I'm not saying Tom isn't just like one of us and trying to do good works. I am saying that anons seem to be so quick to decide "Good/Bad" based on confirmation bias. I've been guilty of it, too.
Just try to keep in mind all possibilities. Lots of snakes in all that swampy, tall grass in DC.
What does Jim Jordan say, though?
