Miners choose which version of the software they run. The software defines the consensus rules. If sufficient mining power prefers software versions with specific consensus rules, the rules are effectively changed. By a "they". |

If a quorum of miners decide to run hard fork changes, then they just disappear from the network once the changes trigger. No miner can force a user to change their consensus rules.
A soft fork is different. But increasing the bitcoin issuance can never be a soft fork.
