So you better be wrong... or the 2nd amendment applies.

The military will not intervene. There is no constitutional basis for them to do so.

Even if the Insurrection Act is invoked, it will not stop the 20th Amendment from operating. A President can't just say that the 20th Amendment is not in effect.

Nor can a President who has not been declared / certified / etc the winner of the Electoral College voting demand he be sworn in on 01/20. It would be unlawful and orders to obey such a request would I believe considered unlawful orders and thus, not required to be obeyed.

I would pay to see the look on your face when Jan 20th comes and goes and still no president Joe.

Sounds like your saying that his 2018 EO is baseless or null and void.

What else does a foreign government need to do in order to qualify such acts as insurrection???

What you neglect to consider is the situation in which there is an insurrection or coup (and a coup can be by violent means, or it can be by illegal means - the idea is that the rightful government is overthrown). What does the Constitution say about this? That the President has the duty to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.” Period. It is not a suicide pact - it doesn’t say, “Well, if you can use legal means to succeed against the coup, great, if not then forget the whole system of government in this document.” Lincoln suspended habeas corpus and did a bunch of other things that ordinarily would be strictly verboten...but he saved the Union and is (generally) looked upon as an unmitigated hero for having done so (though many Southerners disagree rather vehemently). These are, tragically, similar times - there is a mortal threat to our Republic, in the form of a Leftist/Communist co-opting of the Dem Party, with the goal of permanent power for the elites of that party. If they “win” the 2 GA races, then they will dispose of the filibuster, which will enable court-packing, leading to the end of our basic rights, result in at least 2 new states with 4 Dem Senators, and give us at least 20 million new citizens overnight, 85% of whom are inclined to vote Dem to begin with (and who will be further inclined to do so when bribed with big cash payments created out of the ether by the Fed). This is not your father’s election; these are NOT normal times.

Keep in mind that part of Alinsky’s method of taking power is to force the other side to abide by their own rules, while simultaneously having his side abiding by no rules except those which help them win. THAT is the situation that we’re in right now - with people like you spouting the Constitution...without realizing that by scrupulously abiding by every clause we are playing directly into their hands. Founder and President John Adams said,

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

So the situation now is that an immoral and irreligious group of people in our nation (aided by foreigners intent upon weakening this country) have gamed the system (the Constitution) so as to grab power themselves. They KNOW FOR A FACT that it is impossible to prove massive election fraud in the short time between November 3 and January 6, and have blackmailed and/or bribed many people on many levels of government to simply ignore any facts; they also have virtually the entirety of the media and all of social media systematically censoring the facts, so as to lessen support for finding out what happened because “nothing happened” - don’t you know?

These are NOT the days of our youth, in which we KNEW that elections were fair (but probably weren’t), and everyone respected the results. This is a coup against our entire system - Trump could be ANY Republican standing in the way of the Dems gaining permanent power, and the results would be the same except for the willingness of some other Republican to FIGHT. You don’t react to an emergency with non-emergency actions or tools, not unless you intend to have the emergency destroy your life
