People keep talking about "Federalizing the National Guard" and now you've got other States pledging their NG to Texas in defiance of the Supreme Court (see image).

So is this what CW2 looks like?

P.S. I'm a Brit

So guys just in case, can you like maybe hand over your nuclear launch codes. You can have them back when you've calmed down.

Oh that's cute, the state I live in is supporting treason. Well we all know what the punishment for treason is. Hope they're just posturing because if these morons actually try this shit they're going to get rolled over.

Wait, dead Republicans might actually make the country better. This might be okay.
