8 million people. 6 million of age to vote. At least 3 million HRC voters. Even if only 1 in 3 of those can stand in the streets? That's a million people. Even if only half that, that's still more people than we have on total active duty in the US Army. And the governors still have control and will not relinquish control of the Guard, so that comes down to a fight there, too -- the NYNG has 3 times the membership of the total Army active duty.
I live in a sanctuary *state*. That's law for us, in every county and city. Even our nuttier than squirrel poop, more extreme than the NRA, gun group is likely to strenuously object to having posse comitatus broken in state, even for a bunch of brown people, especially because a lot of the nutters are themselves 6th, 7th and 8th generation brown, on their own native soil. And our gov will not call out the National Guard on us, to enforce a law that doesn't apply for us. (That happened in the past. Those governors fucked up historically badly. They don't do that.) Our state law says we pay more than our fair share for federal law; if ICE wants to do the job, they have to get a warrant and do their own damn job.
I just keep thinking of numbers -- there are more of us. So many more. Everywhere.
