acquitted in the Senate

Factually incorrect, either you don’t know what is going on, or you’re lying. The Senate failed to remove him as president, that is all. There is an ongoing criminal case during which Trump was indicted this past year. There has been no acquittal, contrary to your claim.

Just because your feelings say you really don’t want a particular person, it doesn’t mean you have a constitutional right to exclude them.

I agree 100%. I don’t want Biden or any of the other GOP candidates either. And yet, none of them have so far staged and supported an insurrection. I only think candidates should be discluded based on law.

I’m logically consistent, which is something you are not capable of understanding.

Consider how violent Trumpers could get if they couldn’t vote.

Well, Trumpers are extremely delusional and very stupid. So, they will get very violent, even though Trumpers have the most to lose and least to gain from an actual Civil War 2.

One massive trumper delusion is that they are the only ones with guns. In reality, leftists, anarchists, anti-fascists, and communists have a ridiculous amount of firepower stored.

The big difference is that Trumpers paint a big target on themselves and their homes, flying Trump flags and wearing trump merch. Trumpers are not ready to fight a war against an enemy they can’t find. They’re like the Redcoats of the American Revolution, they are big loud and meant to intimidate, they are not ready to fight an actual bloody war of attrition against an enemy they cannot see.

  1. Are you aware the Constitution sets out requirements for eligibility for president? Just because your feelings say you really want a particular person, it doesn’t mean you have a constitutional right to vote for them. For example, maybe I really want Arnold Schwarzenegger for president. Just because I prefer Arnold that does not mean he can be president.

  2. Trumpers could vote for Trump in 2020 and they still staged a violent insurrection. So your point is both stupid and moot.

Laws are important, I’m sure if someone broke into your home and stole all your stuff you wouldn’t want the law to just shrug and go who cares.

maybe a good lawyer can equate them

It’s interesting that you consider a swampy dishonest lawyer to be a “good” lawyer.

How are MAGA voters losing the democratic options to express themselves?

There’s lots of good reasons to be anti-Biden.

BUT PER THE LAW, Biden is eligible to run and Trump is not.

This has nothing to do with feelings or even policy. Nothing to do with sides.

This is just the straight up facts. Trump has engaged in insurrection. Biden has not. The 14th Amendment is clear that insurrectionists are not eligible for office.

If you want to be eligible for office, dotn engage in insurrection. It’s not fucking complicated.

Trump also said “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

If you shake someone’s hand and also punch them, does the handshake cancel out the punch?

You’re being slimy and dishonest again. Trump is a politician, he talks out both sides of his mouth. Talking out both sides of your mouth does not cancel out.

I’ll give an hyperbolic example. “Instagram star breaks DC window” = followers are insurrectionists. Anyone liking a post is barred from the ballot.

You can’t tell the difference between double tapping an Instagram post and offering a presidential pardon?

Whose democratic options to express themselves is being taken away?

Statistically it is non-white people, so why is it white people who are turning to violence?

You should actually be more worried that violent insurrection becomes the norm.

Violent storming of the Capitol is insurrectionalist and obvious (like assault)

That was not your original statement but it’s a lot more correct now, and if we can agree that an obvious insurrection is an insurrection, that’s a very good start.

We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore

I don’t see any honest case to be made that this isn’t incitement of insurrection.

Additionally, the 14th Amendment does not require you to prove it was an incitement, it’s enough to provide aid or comfort to the insurrectionists. Of which there are numerous examples, including Trump repeatedly offering to pardon the insurrectionists.
