Let’s set the scene: masked agitators in Los Angeles torch ICE vehicles, assault officers, block roads, smash windows, and attempt to storm federal detention centers—all in the name of “resisting deportation.” The response from Democrat officials? Weak-kneed platitudes, muted condemnation, and—once again—an open invitation for chaos.
This past weekend, Los Angeles was rocked by scenes that looked more like Caracas or Gaza than an American city. Rioters, apparently incensed by successful federal immigration enforcement, turned their rage not toward injustice, but toward the rule of law. Vehicles were burned. Police officers were attacked. Federal agents were harassed. And where were LA’s leaders? Hiding behind buzzwords like “community dialogue,” “de-escalation,” and “respect for all voices”—as if burning down a federal SUV were just another form of public comment.
The mob wasn’t targeting some rogue vigilante. They were attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents—men and women tasked with enforcing duly passed federal law. And let’s be blunt: they weren’t protesting policy. They were trying to dismantle the lawful execution of justice through intimidation, violence, and mob rule.
But the most telling part of the story isn’t the violence—it’s the response. California Democrats shrugged. Local officials either downplayed the mayhem or, worse, blamed federal agencies for enforcing the law. Flashback to the George Floyd riots in 2020, when CNN told us burning down precincts and looting Target was “mostly peaceful.” We’re watching the sequel now in LA, complete with the same destructive actors and the same enablers in suits.

It should be no surprise that prosecutors in these jurisdictions refuse to press charges. We’ve seen this movie before. The same “progressive” DA culture that refused to prosecute rioters during the BLM chaos is back with a vengeance. In cities like Portland, San Francisco, Chicago, and now Los Angeles, we see a disturbing pattern: the mob does the damage, and the “justice system” shrugs. Cops are left outnumbered, unprotected, and betrayed by the very politicians who claim to back the blue.
Meanwhile, on social media, smug keyboard warriors clutch their pearls, circulate screenshots of Truth Social posts, and mockingly ask, “Did you vote for THIS?”—usually beneath an unflattering image of President Trump or a quote taken deliberately out of context. But they’ve made a fatal miscalculation.
Because yes. Yes, I voted for this—just not the way they think.
I voted for a Department of Justice that doesn’t tolerate federal officers being assaulted by feral activists. I voted for an FBI that doesn’t waste its time targeting parents at school board meetings, but instead brings the full weight of the law down on anarchists who attack federal facilities. I voted for a Secretary of Defense who doesn’t bow to woke ideology but instead ensures our domestic stability is protected from internal threats.
And you know what? Trump’s cabinet is delivering exactly that.
Kash Patel made it plain: anyone who assaults a law enforcement officer, especially in the context of federal enforcement operations, will be found. The FBI will come for them. That’s not just tough talk—it’s the very accountability that has been missing from our institutions for years. Dan Bongino, Pete Hegseth, and others close to the administration are amplifying the same message: lawlessness will no longer be rewarded. Justice is coming.
It’s a breath of fresh air in a nation suffocating under the stench of double standards. When left-wing mobs destroy property, they’re “activists.” When Trump supporters wave flags, they’re “insurrectionists.” When ICE officers do their job, they’re “terrorizing communities.” When rioters hurl Molotov cocktails at them? Crickets. This madness has infected our national discourse for too long.
The difference is night and day. Under Democrat rule, cities descend into chaos. Looters become heroes, police become villains, and violent mobs are coddled with taxpayer-funded therapy goats. But under Trump’s leadership—and the people he’s entrusted with restoring order—we see the exact opposite. Rule of law. Equal enforcement. Courage to confront evil without apology.
And that’s the dividing line of our moment. One side believes enforcement of immigration law is inherently evil. The other side believes no one is above the law—including the rioters trying to burn Los Angeles to the ground.
So the next time a leftist posts a smirking meme captioned, “You voted for this?” with a pixelated photo of Trump in the rain, remember this column.
Yes. I did.
I voted for ICE officers to be backed by their government—not left to fend for themselves.
I voted for rioters to face prison—not photo ops.
I voted for cops to be heroes again—not political pawns.
I voted for law and order—not chaos in the streets.
President Trump, along with Patel, Bongino, Hegseth, and the rest of the America First cabinet, is doing exactly what we elected them to do: restore order, sanity, and justice.
Because if the question is whether I voted for a government that protects its people, upholds the law, and refuses to bend the knee to domestic terrorists in ski masks…
Then yes. Yes, I voted for THIS.
