Trump will declare that an insurrection is occurring and a MAGA congress and senate will back him.

Yes. They haven't been shy talking about it. Protestors will protest on day one, just like last time. Police will come down hard on protesters, just like last time. Trump will declare insurrection. After purging the generals, and they haven't been shy about talking about it, they will be replaced by loyalists. Now the military can be used to round up people that they don't like, like immigrants, or Democrats, or trans people, or insert any group here. At this point, we are in a fascist police state, which again, they haven't been shy talking about it.
But this is apparently what we wanted.

I would think it is more likely he will declare an invasion, citing illegal immigrants?

And SCOTUS. Now we know why it was so critical for Senator McConnell to steal the seat from Obama.

Good fucking luck getting the military to turn guns on its citizens of families and friends.

No trump will declare an invasion of illegals. As he has done already. This time, he will use the military to enforce this.

We are literally seeing what trump would do, but in Korea... TODAY.
President calls the opposition partys blockage of bad policy an insurrection, he declared martial law, the legislators UNANIMOUSLY declared the martial law unconstitutional, didn't impeach because of like 5 ppl, the president kept the unconstitutional martial law in place and now legislators are being arrested *by the military* for going near their parliamentary building.

This is scary. But there's also the blowback problem, as in "may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb." If you're being falsely accused of insurrection, and your siblings-in-struggle are being treated as criminals for exercising their freedom to speak and protest... then you've less and less to lose and you may as well wear the label proudly.
I think a lot about that mad lad in Tbilisi with the fireworks. A lot.

They don't have the numbers in Congress.

I wouldn't be so sure. The House majority is very slim. Also due to the terms of the Senate, they could very well wait him out on it

I wonder what the qualifications are for an invasion
The southern border could be classed as one depending how that’s worded

The senate isn't MAGA, its Republican. The house and executive are MAGA, the supreme court should be considered both.
