If you get paywalled, the gist of the article is that #DeSantis resurrected a State Guard that is in our Constitution. He told the voters that this would be for helping Floridians after disasters like #hurricanes. Some who joined have quit, though, because they are being trained to be paramilitary and people fear that the force will be used to crack down on people using their freedom to gather and to protest, as well as undocumented workers in the state. And, even some retired military veterans have said that the training is abusive and, like most things Republican, without any meaningful oversight or direction. Reminiscent of the #BrownShirts .
