I hope this guy or someone like him visits all those National Guard’s wives.
This deployment will involve orders that should not be followed. We need the constitution amended so the national guard cannot be deployed into a state without that states governors permission.
Well, that is a double edge sword right there. Maybe we end up with a sane federal government again for once, and let’s say some freeloading red state decides to go full 1921 Tulsa on whatever the scapegoat of the week is and the national guard really does need to go in, but their nazi governor just says no and that’s that? There simply needs to be some workaround.
That’s always the crux here in the fight between states and federal rights. Some states will fight the federal government for things you believe in and some against things you believe in. When we demand exercises of power or set in stone rights we need to be prepared for it to be used in situations we don’t agree with.
That’s really one of the difficulties of politics in general. Anyone can say “we should have all these rights” and not consider the implications or they can say “law enforcement and the executive should be able to do all this without interference so they can stop the bad guys” without realizing that the interference is protecting them too.
What we’re seeing in fascism is one of the bypasses of all of it. “We will enforce the rules arbitrarily so you can feel safe both from us and from the ‘bad guys’ who we’ll stop.” But in addition to having actually no protection and the rampant evil of it all, it also bears the cost of arbitrary rules are impossible to be sure you’re following.

Brings another layer of meaning to ‘Fascist Cuck.’

Damn. I forgot about the governor fighting integration. The complexity just moved beyond my narrow understanding of politics.

Yeah, President can totally send National Guard but he has to have governor or congressional approval.
Also, fuck Wallace, may he rest in piss.
