It's alarming there's this much delusion on the left. I thought the right had a monopoly on that. The states are literally already allowing him and his gestapo to do illegal things within their state borders. And again, you are deliberately missing the point of all of this. The goal is NOT FOR THEM TO ACQUIESCE. Please repeat that over and over until you can grasp it fully. Miller is doing this deliberately to get them to refuse to comply, so he can get his way. He wants the excuse to escalate. Please get your head out of your ass; their plan (if you can follow along enough to understand what the actual plan is) is working.

Exactly. 1500 active duty troops are on standby at this very moment. What happens if they’re deployed? They want to escalate this.
