What if they are and we just don't know it yet? It doesn't have to be a visible military presence in every city but there's certainly a huge presence in DC right now. A little early for inauguration security, especially since we all know Biden is not going to be inaugurated!
You are correct. The only requirement for the Insurrection Act is for the president to tell the insurrectionists to quit it before he invokes its full power. It could be in effect and no one would know until military is rounding up people.
If the Left believe the Patriots to be insurrectionists, then POTUS fulfilled the requirement when he told the Patriots to "return to your homes in peace." Now, if the true insurrectionists continue (see NYC), it's "game on." Just my 2 cents worth.
I just drove cross country, from the west coast, to move to a RED state. I saw many, many, many military equipment haulers on the way. But nothing really obvious beyond that. Things are going to go sideways. It will be welcomed.
That would be my guess - IF he invoked the IA then the military would be in control of the country.

Very possible.
