Call up the national guard. Walk up with 1000 troops in a battalion loaded for bear. Demand access or else. Follow through with the “or else” if they push you.
Force the constitutional crisis. Now is the time.

A governor doing that would get the national guard federalized and end up executed for treason. There’s a reason public officials call for nonviolent civil resistance

How would you know? Its never been done. 6 years ago we would have said the same about a violent ijssurection at the capitol that almost derailed the transfer of power, but instead all of those terrorists will be millionaires on our dime.
There is no way to know what would happen I’m the above case. That’s the constitutional crisis I’m recommending they force. Its entirely possible the people rally around the governor and instead push for real change, refusing to let the guard be federalized.
The only thing the feds can do them is bring the actual army in, and that broaches another constitutional crisis. Will they start an actual civil war, or will they buckle to the intense pressure of a unified people and actually relent to democracy?

You’re in a country where the right has publicly fantasized about killing the left for decades. Yes, they’ll do that
