    Starting to escalate to “do what I want / let me do what I want, or I’ll shoot you” at some point has been in the right-wind playbook for a while now. The Florida State Guard is an experiment with it (within the “establishment”, which is much more dangerous than something like the Proud Boys or Patriot Front); this is another. It seems actually pretty important exactly how this plays out and whether it “works” or not.

      Florida is just copying Texas which has had a state guard since forever. Florida did too but it had been deactivated.
