Hate to be this person but the national guard is authorized by the constitution to be used for suppressing domestic insurrections or repelling foreign invasions.
Also, and unfortunately, the posse comitatus act doesn’t apply to the national guard when under state control. This means the national guard can also perform domestic law enforcement duties if they’re not federalized.
All of this is to say they can absolutely be deployed against fellow citizens. We’ve just been living in a gentlemen’s agreements dream world where nobody would ever do such a thing until now.
You point out technicalities while the same fascists in the government are breaking the law (and maybe committing some war crimes here and there, idk). Lol.
My point is it’s actually always been this way on paper we’ve just been lucky to not have insane people abuse the system
Almost like the system was rotten from the beginning.
