Just imagine if the administration decided to invoke the Insurrection Act and institute martial law. There would be roving gangs of militarized federal agents invading and terrorizing entire neighborhoods, kicking down doors and dragging people from their cars. People would be detained and sent to unknown locations without any pretense of due process. The administration would declare anyone and everyone who opposed them to be "terrorists" and call for their death.
