It’s cute watching liberals fantasize about Civil War II and the aftermath with Nuremberg II. This fantasy takes place in a West Wing la la land where they’ll legally own Orange Man so hard he pees his diaper and surrenders.
Do they not remember the Little Rock Nine when National Guard troops switched loyalty overnight? From following state orders to block black students from attending school to being federalized and commanded to escort and protect them. The outcome was good, but it just shows the troops only listen to whoever has the legitimate authority at any given moment.
Best case scenario is that these guys refuse to follow federal orders to actively engage in combat against the state, but they’ll also refuse to fight Trump’s forces as well. I also don’t see why Sgt. Bubba at the local police department, who believes fentanyl can kill him over his phone screen, will want to violently resist Trump’s forces.
It’s also crazy to see dems foster this mindset of “guns are BAD unless wielded by government armed forces”, allow their enemies to monopolize membership in said armed forces, exempt all the cops and soldiers from their gun laws, and now tell me to “trust me bro the cops and our state troops will protect you from fascism”
Why bother understanding material reality when you can govern by vibes?
It’s not crazy. Democrats are good cop to Republicans’ bad cop. They are just as much a part of the state.
