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

Why not Arizona? That's surprising.

As far as I can tell, it's a purple state. The right republican would have to come along to pull moderates/libertarians in the state and Trump will only lose the state again - he talked a lot of shit about John McCain; that's not going to go well. Don't get me wrong, every state has it's Trump cultists, but there's just not enough.

42% of Arizona is federal land, they know it wouldn't end well.

The current governor of Arizona is Katie Hobbs, a Democrat.

I am thankful everyday that the governor of Kansas is a Democrat as well because it means we likely aren't participating.

Kansas historically was a free state, part of the union. People, that live here specifically, seem to forget that.

I just sent a message to the governor declaring my support in not sending any troops to Texas.
