    Don’t worry, according to this article: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-national-guard-military-states-cities-b2812837.html

    The deployments will take place across the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wyoming, per Fox.

    But it’s to assist ICE.

      Maybe this is a net positive. The deployed troops will finally venture out of their respective necks of the woods and see that this supposed crime-infested hellscape of a city is better than where they’re from?

        That would be nice, but it’s more likely they’ll find people of color living freely, ethnic food with frightening flavors and — Allah forbid — head scarves or other “different” things that scare them to their core.

        Most red states have populations centered in blue cities. Like Alabama has Montgomery and Birmingham. Texas has Houston, Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio. Etc.

          Yeah, I guess that’s the plan squash the blueberries floating in the red soup.
