IF ALL governors imposed a curfew and called out their national guard units with a premessage saying that all rioters would be dealt with as hardened criminals, there would be no riots or “unrest.”
If they don’t protect their states, they should be subject to arrest and have to pay for all the damage out of their own pockets.
We’ve been through all this riot shit before and there’s no JUSTIFICATION for governors allowing it.

Trump actually has some National Guardsmen from the south and federal marshals etc on standby in strategic positions for just such an insurrection. However, given that Dem governors/mayors would much rather allow the rioters and looters steal and burn everything down, Trump may have to invoke the Insurrection Act to be able to go in and crush the riots.
