At which point the NG gets the go ahead and either the 82nd or 101st (whoever has the alert brigade that month) gets a mass recall text. They probably wouldn't deploy but those options have to start lining up early to be ready in case some large organized militia actually turns it into a fight.
The chances of things getting that far are statistically indescribable but that's the reaction chain.
You mean give them something to latch onto if they win or lose? If Kamala wins don’t expect just Jan 6 to be a bad date, Nov 9, Jan 20-21, etc etc. if they win, they get to point at this “egregious overstep” and do more asshatery.
