      Actually, I think so. Remember that this guy wanted to gun down the Floyd protests not because he didn’t like the politics, but according to him, “good presidents don’t have riots”. He was willing to kill thousands of people just to preserve his own mental image of himself.

      My governor has said he’s not sending in troops anywhere (after someone asked), but considering the EO allows the SecDef to literally send troops anywhere they feel is a “disruption of public order” in whatever quantity and capacity he deems fit, and considering Hegseth seems to be pretty much an administration hand puppet at this point…I’ll still go, but I’m definitely planning on knowing my escape routes just in case.
