25. How is the National Guard situation going to work from a legal standpoint?
Mon Jun 12, 2023, 05:25 PM
Jun 2023

Is DeSantis even going to deploy them? If he does, does he look like a good guy or a bad guy? If he doesn't, wouldn't he be worried about getting caught in a (please not literal) crossfire?

Would President Biden nationalize the Florida National Guard? If he does, won't that make him look like the tyrant the below-averages believe him to be? Will it kick off the 'civil war' the Gravy Seals seem to want so badly?
