      Umm…what?

      Not sure if you’re being sarcastic, but it’s not that complicated. Constitution says he’s not eligible, so that’s that.

      If you’re going to try to destroy democracy with an insurrection you don’t deserve to participate anymore

      We voted last time and he lost and refused to accept his fate. He committed crimes (some of them against me as a ga resident who didn’t vote for him). The law says you can’t be president if you have supported insurrectionists. He incited the insurrection and even if you don’t believe he wanted it to happen he still offered his support to the perpetrators after the fact. Even after they were convicted for insurrection. He literally did what it says he can’t do. It’s as plain as the hole in my ass dude.

      Should we start allowing people under the legal age and non-citizens run for president without first amending the constitution to allow that as well?

      If people want to change that outcome, then they should tell their representatives (the Constitution says Trump needs 2/3rds vote by both houses of Congress to be allowed to run for office in the US now) or amend the constitution. Its simply following the election laws that was accepted by the elected officials.

      Someone who tried to ignore election results and incite a mob to overthrow the government? Yes.
