As debates over public safety policies heat up, a new analysis suggests the U.S. government's push to deploy National Guard troops to cities might be backfiring. 📉 CNN's Chief Data Analyst Harry Enten revealed that 60% of Americans oppose using military forces domestically, calling the strategy a "political loser" ahead of critical elections.
The move, championed by former President Donald Trump's administration, has drawn comparisons to unpopular policy sequels—think 'The Purge: Democracy Edition' 🎬. Enten's breakdown shows younger voters and urban residents are particularly resistant, with opposition crossing party lines.
"This isn't just bad optics—it's electoral math," Enten noted, highlighting how the policy could alienate key voter blocs. With the 2024 election cycle looming, analysts warn that doubling down on controversial security measures might leave politicians stranded in no-man's-land. 🗳️
