The troops, composed of units from Texas and Illinois, are based at an Army Reserve station about an hour southwest of Chicago.

    Did the “resistance” in question take the form of saying “nooo don’t”? If the governor of the state doesn’t want them there, they have their own national guard to facilitate that.

    “This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.”

    Yeah! Speak up so that…so that…hmm. Maybe so that people with more power and authority than themselves individually deploy their power and authority on behalf of the people? Like some sort of… representative… Intriguing concept
