if you want to argue you’d be ok with President Gavin Newsom deploying the marines and national guard to Florida or Mississippi or Alabama cities or areas to “fight crime” when he says openly and explicitly “I’ll lay off, if you change your voting laws or are nice to me,” I dunno man

What if he had to deploy the guard to desegregate?

Is... is that the same thing as sending them down for the sole purpose of terrorizing ethnic minorities? Does that sound the same in your head?

You missed my point but historically the national guard *was* used to help integrate schools, but Trump wants to flip that on its head. If Newsom or some other future President wanted to use the guard to ensure individual rights it’s different than using it to deprive rights.

That isn’t the context. It’s a mistake to conflate crime and voting laws.

I agree, although I also don't think your hypothetical is entirely apt. Should a next D President adopt the Trumpian method of creating facts on the ground and letting the courts (maybe) sort it out later? It seems to work well. That doesn't mean the facts they create have to be the same ones.

Newsom sending Californians to Mississippi or Alabama, would be like he's punishing his own people.
