Governor Jeff Landry has requested up to 1,000 troops to be distributed across several cities, including Shreveport, Baton Rouge, Alexandria, and New Orleans. While the exact number coming to the Crescent City is unclear, the question of their placement is a significant concern for residents.
Superintendent Kirkpatrick emphasized that while the Guard would partner with the NOPD, the soldiers would maintain their own chain of command and would not report directly to the New Orleans police.

Much like Mango’s brilliant ability to destroy every business he touched over the last 40+ years, destroying the US Federal government makes it quite difficult for them to continue to perpetrate evil. The blue states tend to provide all the Federal money for the red states, so a Federal collapse just means the blue states survive, and the red states get to see what life is like without their Federal socialist handouts.
Not as big a win as America fixing itself right away, but much more optimistic than Mango and Company successfully executing their Nazi plans.
Personally I suspect such a situation would still be better for the American people long term, much like how the collapse of the Western Roman Empire resulted in its stagnant rotting systems being overhauled. Though it’s hard to say how the red states would react, I could definitely see a couple defacto genocides occuring because some Evangelicals and/or Mormons go nuts and tried doing a Justinian only for it to be a Francisco Solano López.
