    That is true on the federal level. State is a completely different matter. He only succeeds at the state level when state government is complicit.

        Quite a few? Most? Not at all. He hasn’t even tried “most” or even more than a few.

        Louisiana, the kind of state you characterize correctly, is NOT every red state. And even then there are a handful of red states with independent-leaning governors like Mike DeWine of Ohio and Andy Beshear of Kentucky who cannot at all be counted on to toe the MAGA line, much less if he federalizes their National Guard.

        You’re insistent on ceding territory he hasn’t even touched and is not even remotely guaranteed to win in a fed vs. state battle. To what end?
