There is nothing that is going to stop him from citing the insurrection act, and from there using it to declare war against the blue states. This is what MAGA wants. They want to reignite the Civil War, only with them holding all the cards. Problem is that I don't think most people in the country actually want this, in red or blue states, and they aren't going to believe that it is happening until you have troops attacking civilians and drones dropping bombs.
