    Nah. Because the constitution says a traitorous insurrectionist doesn’t belong in government. I agree with the constitution 100%

      I agree it’s probably true, but he hasn’t been convinced of insurrection (yet), has he? The sixth amendment to the Constitution guarantees a fair trial, no?

      So the sitting government decided their opponent is guilty of “The act or an instance of open revolt against civil authority or a constituted government”, and then told you and everyone else you’re not allowed to vote for him. Could that not be applied to all opposition?

      That’s not concerning? What if it’s switched next time?

        ‘But what if Nazis treated you like a Nazi?’ is never a meaningful argument.

        It’s the sort of thing you scold small children with when they’re figuring out theory-of-mind. It’s not a reason to hem and haw about consequences for outright fascism.

        The 14th does NOT say ANYWHERE that the traitor has to be convicted.

        We all saw it live, the desecration of the very core of American values. We the people do not accept traitors in our government.

        I know you think you’re slick “arguing” in bad faith. We see right through your sad tricks.

        Also, lemme know next time a democratic politician tries to overthrow democracy. I’ll apply the same rules to them instantly.
