Red state or blue state; the National Guard can be federalized and ordered around the President in certain circumstances; JFK federalized the Alabama Guard against George Wallace for example. But Trump still should never return to the White House.

I miss when ppl who wanted to be president understood that their job was promoting unity. I miss when they knew that they’re not just supposed to represent their party fanatics, but everyone in the country they were elected to serve. Why’s it feel like we’re waiting 4it to happen b4 we do something?

Once he has 200k ‘law’ enforcement thugs who buy in to his demented bigotry, the 2028 election will be a foregone conclusion. Somehow he will gerrymander another term and his private army will ensure a ‘smooth’ transition to his next term. Goodbye Constitution; goodbye America.

This is troubling. But Biden is old, and he hasn't made policy choices that 100% conform with my preferences. It's so hard to figure out whether my family and the country would be better off under Biden, or a Trump-controlled military force assaulting population centers around the country in 2025.

I wonder how many "red state" national guard folks are ready to die for Donald's stay-out-of-jail civil war project. I'm certain the number is not zero, but I worry that it's higher than anyone suspects.

There are too many people who don’t believe the blatant statements of Trump & the right-wing. And there are too many people who not only believe, but enthusiastically support them. And some of those people, in both categories, are members of the press.

The big problem democrats have is that when you repeat verbatim Trumpist positions it comes across as batshit crazy unbelievable and discounted. “What do you mean Arkansas legalized 12 year olds working in meat packing plants? That’s crazy! Can’t be true!”

Just remember, he means and believes every fucking stupid, vicious thing he says. The obvious problem with our entire country and way of life is that there are no consequences or swift justice, only legal delay tactics. Respect has been replaced with defiance and retaliation. Lemmings exist.
