State guards are used by many states. Since the national guard can be federalized, states need a force to protect the states while the guard is gone.

Most people don’t even know about the state defense forces

    states need a force to protect the states while the guard is gone.

    Does all the guard ever leave such that the state is basically defenseless again…whatever it needs to defend against?

      Large portions of the guard do. If we went to war with China or Russia. Most the guard would leave.

    The amount of crippl8ng oaranoid delusion that conservatives suffer from is astounding. Conservatism is America’s most dangerous and crippling mental disorder in history.

      You have a cite for that? It’s well know liberals are much more likely to be mentally ill.

      As such I am sure you can cite your claim

          If you’re going to grammar nazi, get it right. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/cite Scroll down to other definitions, it can be used as a noun. And tbh, English is a bastard of a language, look at gerunds and the term ain’t. There isn’t a strict rule set, it’s more about what sounds good more than anything, with the exception of technical terms and when communication needs to be clear.

                If you get to be obtuse when people use words like “nazi”, “fascist”, etc, then so do I.

        I’m pretty rule sure that liberals arent the ones claiming they’ll defend against tyranny while bootlicking police; claiming that a brainlass and heartless clump of cells is a baby; that everything and everyone is a conspiracy against “family values”; that the Constitution says that a magic sky wizard and his shitty fanfic is our authority; that Bill Gates is microchipping you with a vaccine via a faked pandemic; that trump won 2020; that Jan 6 was “tourism”; that capitalism and competition breeds innovation when it clearly does the opposite; that private industry are best suited to handle government responsibilities; that Trickle-Down works; that the Iraq and Afghan wars were the proper response to 9/11; that a secret insider named Q was here to help “save America”; that Democrats were eating babies in an underground pizza-based pedophile ring; that good guys with guns will stop bad guys with guns; that the First Amendment does not support freedom FROM religion; that “people want choice!” in which diseases and accidents health care insurance will provide coverage for; that the student debt issue is about simply paying back loans; that conservative voices are being censored despite owning literally every single bit of the mediasphere and actively suppressing all dissenting voices; that we have to support Israel’s genocide so god will like us when Jesus returns; that Alex Jones is actually telling the truth and certainly not doing it for millions upon millions of dollars; that a “billionaire” with a loooooooong history of fraud is looking out for you, the Common Worker; that a foreign-owned news channel with a 65% falsehood rate is the most trusted news source simply because it appeals to the lowest common denominator of gullible idiots; that Elon Musk is “defending free speech” while openly and actively blocking and oppressing anyone who disagrees with him; that authoritarian fascism is the best way to provide freedom and defend against tyranny; that CRT is being taught in elementary schools and that white kids are being forced to hate themselves; that banning books is always a good idea; that kids are being taught how to have gay sex; that Satanic cults are rampant and destroying our youth; omg my thumbs are tired…

              You said conservatives are mentally ill. Let’s see the cite for that. I have never seen a study that says that.
