I just don't feel like much will come of this.
It may not, but the last few times we saw the feds directly challenged were Bundy Ranch (feds lose but shit all over on the way out), and Jan 6th (feds win, but shit all over and imprison a bunch of people).
This is the first time in my lifetime that 2 states have openly rebelled, and Texas does not back down. This could get interesting very quickly.
Good Points.
I was thinking about the Bundy Ranch too. Feds couldn't complete their mission faced with small determined push back.
Apparently by Abbot declaring it an invasion, it legally allows other states to come help.
Thus far, Oklahoma, Florida, Virginia and South Dakota have pledged support to Texas.

25 governors have signed a letter of support for TX. Feds will back down, only question is how they’ll try to save face.

I don't think the feds will back down. This is insurrection for real, and Trump is encouraging it. Expect him to get arrested.

Nobody’s even brought trump into the conversation. It’s for real, all right.
I just can’t see the spineless blob in DC standing up to half the states on anything.

Maybe we should send Victoria Nuland down there to protect Democracy

Something doesn't feel right about this whole situation. Doesn't feel organic. Seems to be out of character for Abbott

How so?
I do wonder ‘why now’, but it’s clearly been brewing for quite a while..

I think the DC blob will back down. They can’t win, it won’t be just the 25 state guards, it will be a large majority of citizens as well. The blob will be outnumbered. They will work on a different angle. I suspect this cools down because they know that they can’t win this way. Hell this is probably a distraction while they are unleashing their real plan, whatever that is.
