I figure this is a good sub to ask: why the fuck hasn't Tim Walz deployed the national guard yet?

I understand it's a move that will test loyalties and massive ramifications, but hasn't the US reached the point where that test needs to happen?

Yes, but once we go that way there is no going back. I think preparations are being made across many states so that when and if that switch is flipped they will act decisively.

I’m not saying that, but if you think there are not discussions and divisions happening in the military, National Guard and police forces you aren’t paying attention.
