Why would Trump say that he would invoke the insurrection act?

He can’t even say “insurrrectioon” with our slurring his words?

He doesn’t follow the constitution?

He thinks he is the law?

But I think if he does indeed invoke the insurrection act? We all are screwed.

It’s what he wants to control us all! It won’t be troops just on Minnesota streets, it’ll be on every street in the country.

Hard to believe that one person can build so much animosity amongst a whole country, but here we are.

Then we see him threatening our allies, invading sovereign countries and destroying our country’s reputation.

Yep, just one man plus a bunch of goons by his side!

There’s nothing in the constitution that says elections can be stopped due to a war or insurrection. Elections took place during the Civil War, and all other wars since.
