To be clear, what’s going on is that the Governor of Texas is using the National Guard to block US border patrol from accessing the border, and using language that is very similar to that in the articles of secession to justify it.
Lmao right? As if the Lobbies and their rich donors would allow the stock market to crash. Even joking about sending in any troops would make the market nervous.
In part, this strikes me as practice insurrection. Mobilize a military force and see how the Fed responds, knowing you’ll back down before things go really hot.
Even an ‘official’ insurrection would not go very far. Most people don’t want it and wouldn’t take part. There might be resistance pockets here and there, but that’s it. Who is going to leave their job, grab a gun and go fight when they’re living paycheck-to-paycheck?
All of the right wingers I know that like trump all say the same thing: “if they come for me I’ll blah blah blah”.
None of them would ever leave thier house to go fight for anyone. They’ve got TV to watch.
It’s a pretty shitty one since Biden can just issue a go home order to the National Guard and any who don’t get a cozy court martial after being dragged away by their brothers in arms.
This is why they need to put Trump; and Abbot, now; in jail. along with all the other leaders.
So far, the only people who’ve seen and faced consequences for Jan 6 are the sorts that are entirely…disposable. Even the “leaders” of the militias… they’re a dime a dozen. They can get warm bodies to flesh out the ranks, but you gotta lock up the people who are using said warm bodies.
I wish the red states really would all just fucking secede. Fuck em. They’re nothing but a drain and are beyond help. Quit pussyfooting around, man up and secede.
