re: #36 Nerdy Fish

There are several states (such as Texas) that have been grooming their National Guard with white nationalists. Not all would obey such orders, but undoubtedly they know which ones will.

When Trump faces large scale mutiny, sabotage and desertion from established
forces, he is likely to respond by deputizing large masses of armed MAGAts. Besides existing gangs like the Proud Boys, the NRA and Evangelical church networks could help provide an ad hoc organizational framework of sorts. These could be called something like the “Freedom Guard.” This was the name of the 20th Century Confederacy’s SS-style party militia in Harry Turtledove’s Timeline 191 alternate history series.
The MAGAt forces wouldn’t really stand a chance, but they are so arrogant and delusional that it will take massive losses to convince them of that. Among other things, their reflexive rejection of legitimate media will cause them to ignore reports of defeat and loss until they see it with their own eyes.
