People keep talking about "Federalizing the National Guard" and now you've got other States pledging their NG to Texas in defiance of the Supreme Court (see image).
So is this what CW2 looks like?
P.S. I'm a Brit
Literally every state surrounding mine is willing to do this and mine isn't.
I gotta say, for once I'm impressed with Mississippi
The disunited states has gone post-truth. When two sides vying for power don't agree on the nature of reality, ie immigration vs invasion, I don't see how there can be any agreement or good faith negotiation. So how can the result be anything but war? Whoever invented the notion of alternative facts has a lot to answer for.
Why not Arizona? That's surprising.
42% of Arizona is federal land, they know it wouldn't end well.
As far as I can tell, it's a purple state. The right republican would have to come along to pull moderates/libertarians in the state and Trump will only lose the state again - he talked a lot of shit about John McCain; that's not going to go well. Don't get me wrong, every state has it's Trump cultists, but there's just not enough.
This all have a strong brexit vibe, but taken to the next level in a very MURICA! style.
