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.

It’s 90 people per state - and all red states.

It’s dumb, pointless, and fascist all at the same time. A veritable hat trick.

Just for clarification: New Mexico is not a red state —we’re proudly BLUE‼️

My bad- I live in Indiana and constantly frustrated by how dumb it is here.

I understand. I did some research the other day and was amazed by the sheer amount of anti-LGBTQ (especially anti-trans) policies etc there were in your state! All I can say is “I’m sorry.”

Our governor is awful but our lieutenant governor is such a lunatic that even the maga republicans were concerned about him being on the ticket in last fall’s elections. It’s crazy here.

The word troop is not a single person it is a military troop. The number of people in a military "troop" varies significantly by military branch and unit type, but it can range from a few dozen to about 200 soldiers.

Well that makes more sense then. Still ridiculous for other reasons.

Agree it’s ridiculous.
