Well Abbott was all for this shit in 2024. Did people forget how he closed the border and sent troops there.

He even declared it an invasion of "military-aged men" at the time. He did that right around the time that the Supreme Court held that Trump couldn't be held off the ballot for formenting insurrection.
I am confident that if that ruling went the other way, Abbot would have declared an invasion was in progress, that Democrats were aiding it, and thrown Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and every single Democrat off the ballot in Texas.

So the more states go all in with antifascist protests the thinner they have to spread their thugs

Go for it. There's not nearly enough active duty national guardsmen capable of deploying to all 50 states.

There will be when they get activated and reinforced with regulars.
