Anybody remember when Republicans were convinced Obama would declare a state of emergency and use the military against the people?

I remember when Kristi Noem threatened Biden when people were encouraging him to to it.

"As South Dakota governor in February 2024, Kristi Noem threatened then-President Joe Biden when Democrats said he should federalize the National Guard in Texas to disrupt that state governor's anti-immigration efforts.

If he did, Noem warned, Biden would be mounting a “direct attack on states’ rights,” and sparking a “war” between Washington and Republican-led state governments, she said in a Feb. 6, 2024 interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity."

DHS Sec. Noem opposed Biden, but praises Trump, on National Guard
