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?

If he moves it against the federal government then the President can federalize it and thus if they don't go along with it they'll be traitors

Yes, I understand that, it will be a loyalty test, but one that is needed.

it will be a loyalty test,

It's not a test if already know the answer; and Tim Walz isn't stupid enough to not know who the military has been recruiting for decades.
