    One of, perhaps the main reason the Trump regime won't institute the Insurrection Act is that it would essentially stop all political fundraising.

    The reason the media won't tell you this is that the media depends on that $$ for the ad spend.

      @Dave_Goldsmith It essentially declares "it's game over" as far as traditional politics and governing goes, branding current rule as a dictatorship in an "emergency" that won't end.

      Why would invoking the Insurrection Act stop fundraising?

      @Dave_Goldsmith That history is all accurate. But in those instances there were real threats as opposed to mostly made up ones, and the men who pulled the trigger on those decisions at least had principals.

      Neither exist currently and in my view it's the last tool for a total takeover that obviates all elements of politics working as usual.

      I guess various presidents have invoked the Insurrection Act dozens of times, usually in the face of rioting, usually for a short-term. I don't think it had any effect on political campaign fund-raising or elections generally (except for during the Civil War!)

      Trump could invoke the Insurrection Act like these other presidents did, in the face of real, imagined or provoked (false-flag) rioting w/o effecting political campaign fund-raising, I think.
