Invoke the insurrection act.

I don't care if "this won't happen or that won't happen". Make some fucking noise. But he isn't. He's gonna hand our country over to the communist takeover coming without so much as a peep it seems.

I genuinely wonder what type of consequences he and his family would suffer if he tried this route and it didn’t work.

I'm leaning towards the second and I'll explain: I think it's more just "over it" than being a pussy. I think he's given up. After the 6th, the whole "MUH OPTICS" thing and the fact that people were resigning because of that, his relationship with Pence, and also the fact that everyone is just blatantly telling him "no" at this point. He hasn't had any real power in two weeks (could argue longer). His appointees, other officials and military are just straight up telling the President of the US that they will not follow orders so... What is he to do? I suspect Pence has been shadow-governing at least since the 6th. He can invoke the IA, but what will that do if someone just tells him no? None of this should be taken as an excuse, I just feel that's what is really happening here.
