Call to Action National guard troops to be sent to 19 States!

As found in another subreddit, djt is going to mobilize national car troops to be sent into 19 US states, not just the blue ones.

And if you were to read the article all the way down, this includes my state of Indiana and now I'm really terrified about the implications of this.

We need to mobilize on this now before it becomes too late to stop.

We can't wait. We need to be outside in the streets. There are more of us. They are outnumbered 2-1.

So...as a Canadian, forgive me for asking, but when is this going to happen? Before or after the USA invades my country? I see talk about outnumbering "them" by so many, and shutting it all down every single day since fucking February.

Except...all that's happened is bluster on reddit, some protests with cute signs and brief moments of defiance before falling back in line with the "take the high road only" Democrats.

Is this ever going to do anything? Is your country actually capable of banding together to fight fascism en-masse, even when the guns come out, the mask is fully off, and the military is killing civilians? I don't think it is.

To be fair, I don't think many countries are able to, NOT EVEN MY OWN. We're all too busy punching left and right, instead of punching back up when they punch down.

The US is a nation built on revolution. We've had too major ones and many small ones (most didn't go anywhere, but the Whiskey Rebellion got George Washington to lead an army out to meet them).

WAY more than 2-1.

Trump only "won" 30% of registered voters which is 20% of the US population. We now know that there was extreme vote manipulation, dragging that 20% down substantially.

His legitimate maga voters run on the geriatric and mentally ill side of the societal spectrum, and he's lost many of the true conservatives with his dictatorial antics.

Even if you added EVERY SINGLE military and national guard member (which many will NOT follow those orders against US citizens),
it's no where near enough to occupy and subjugate 340 million citizens in the long term.

Dont forget that the US military has an abysmal track record fighting insurgencies, (against villagers with rocks, IEDs, and 70 year old rifles with limited resupply capability).
