There’s an emerging blue-state nightmare: Inspired by President Donald Trump’s call to round up immigrants who are in the country illegally, red-state governors might start sending their National Guard troops into blue states without those leaders’ permission.
I hope you’re right, because what you’re describing is how things are headed. An entrenched fascist government will be a lot harder to remove with or without force, however.
Sadly in either case we’re looking at a decade or more to undo the damage that’s already been done, if it’s even reversible.
Whatever happens I’m certain now that American hegemony is collapsing in my lifetime, and hopefully that ends up being a good thing.
It’s at least possible it may be a good thing but without a broader liberation movement to fill the power vacuum, it’s more likely it will simply be filled by another imperialistic nation or coalition. I don’t see much sign of such a movement so I’m not very optimistic.
