This decision to send in the National Guard and taking over local law enforcement is really troubling. But the issue for me—beyond the visual of troops in the streets of only Democratically-led cities—is the seeming inevitability of the troops themselves just following orders. Isn’t it possible for them to decide not to follow orders?
Are they that programmed and that blind to the moment that they can’t make a decision for themselves and just say No?
This is a moral issue, these are no ordinary times. There is no unrest, there are no hurricanes to clean up after. It’s just a megalomaniacal poor sport paving the way for total control and wreaking havoc in the 2026 midterms and beyond, giving orders and doing atrocious things simply because he can.
He’s drunk with power, and he’s putty in the hands of the Heritage Foundation crowd.
