Here is the difference, however. In 1860 the entire Republican party was 100% behind Lincoln and supported him. It wasn't filled with a bunch of RINOs. It wasn't filled with a cabinet that would invoke the 25th amendment... The President can have all those powers you say, but if you have too many swamp creatures that refuse to support it, it doesn't matter.
Right now you already have RINO loser Republicans, like Ben Sasse, Mitt Romney, Murkowski, and so on saying they are considering voting to impeach him with the Democrats this time purely over the Capital Building being rushed, even though Trump said to go to the Capital peacefully.
It's insanity. So sure, go ahead and pretend Trump ordering the Insurrection Act would even matter at this point. It won't. He could order it and within a week or less the Republicans would turn against him. They have no balls anymore. The swamp runs deeper than anyone realized. What can Trump even do when he doesn't even have the support of his own Vice President at this point?
