People need to realize that what he is … offering is a form of insurrection, where states resist the federal government

They are trying to make any disagreements with Trump an "insurrection".

Maybe start with Alabama which was the first state in recent history to flat out refuse to accept a SCOTUS ruling.

This is their plan. They'll arrest a few different elected state officials on bogus federal charges, and then find a conformant puppet to get out in their place. Then they expect all the other duly elected officials to fall in line and stop resisting.

This is a Russian playbook. Plain and fucking simple.
