    Yes, I think these are positive signs that’s true. I worry these kinds of developments will build a kind of complacency. The difference is that these folks are under state orders, not federal orders. They’re from the state, not from out of state. These are important characteristics.

    But we should also remember that Kent State happened on state orders.

    Accept the good will. But always be vigilante. Hopefully the locals are striking up conversation with these guard members. Giving them their perspectives.

      So… … Trump can just supersede the governor and assume command of the unit if he wanted to, right?

      … or does that fall into another kind of technical legal / COC unprecedented anomaly category if you try to work out the specifics, so it just functionally comes down to shrug?
