they’ll start with red states and go after blue counties/cities within them. the conservatives will be fed propaganda about how the liberals are protecting criminals in their own state and blah blah, this will further entrench MAGA and conservatives in general, and resistance will be used to justify spreading the deployment to more states, namely blue ones.
They will hunt immigrants in red states. If blue states start protesting they will be deployed there to fight it. Once it’s normalized they will be deployed anywhere it benefits the government.
I assume it’s because he’ll receive the least resistance, or even affirmative assistance, there. Once that’s been normalized he’ll move to do it in blue States and point to his “successes” so far to sell it.
Here’s my understanding, though I could have missed something while trying to navigate the law. In order for Trump to be able to pull this with the national guard, he needs the consent and authorization of the Governor. He would never get this from blue states, so I imagine the goal is to have red states hand him free power, then target the blue areas within that state. Once we’ve normalized it a bit, it’s easier to force it on the remaining states.

Its a power consolidation move.
One - as other commenter said he’ll go after blue havens in the red states
Two - it normalizes troops in the street for “his people” leading to greater complacency.
Three: when the red states don’t balk at the deployments, he can use that as ammo when he sends them to a blue state and they resist.

Secure the areas he’s strong in to prepare for Balkanization?

Yep, you’ve landed right where I did by trying to learn the legal loopholes. We’re in for a wild ride no matter what.
