    I hope so but if we start hearing other swing states are doing this I will get really worried.

    That was my smug reply, I wasn't actually on drugs..... yet

    But he asked for a 'solution' not a direction or process which is the only thing we can do

    I assumed he's was 12, so

    I’m on a bizarro board where magnitudes of violence against a group of people is fine. Dehumanization has been fully realized.

    I agree with you. Even for potential post-election protests, I don't think the National Guard should be called out, though it likely doesn't do much harm. I think Abbott wants to project a law-and-order image to give the base some warm fuzzies, maybe even come out and vote for some law-and-order candidate on the ballot. But OP and others suggested this was some voter intimidation gambit. That's a far different thing, and I don't think that's the intent or the effect at all.

    I don’t see it as voter intimidation but I wouldn’t completely rule that out, in the order of <1%. Our national guard shouldn’t be used for politic. Abuse of power.

    To most people who are not militarily trained and don't own military grade weapons at home, having national guard on their street is a form of intimidation where they would likely avoid going to areas with soldiers' presence. Which is what DOJ's guidelines on voting intimidation presented by @NewRoxFan in this thread also prove. It's the reason why open carry at polling places was litigated in Michigan's supreme Court recently. GOP is known to be pro gun party and thus they own more guns and are less intimidated by open carry than liberals. So this intimidation favors the former party over the latter.

    Without clear and stated goals and without a credible and present threat, national guard has no business of being stationed among citizens. Yes, the environment is tense but democratic tenets of "free and equal" should still prevail over this obviously politically colored move.

    If the government want to assuage fears, they should make an announcement that at first sign of trouble, national guard will be deployed.
    Stationing of troops within boundaries of urban area is an overreach by Abbot imho and people have a reason to be worried. Snowflakes or not.


    PS. Blacks are raping whites? Now that immigration has been closed off, seems like we found our own rapers to be afraid of. Saaad

    Is this not a conservative kneejerk reaction to jump at shadows?

    I'm sorry you've had a sad little life where you're angry at everything but black people are not the source of your unhappiness.
