Maineās top election official has removed former President Donald Trump from the stateās 2024 ballot, in a surprise decision based on the 14th Amendmentās āinsurrectionist ban.ā
Itās literally a constitutional amendment my dude. This is how the democracy is structured, at the very foundational level. If you try to attack the lawful transfer of power, you arenāt eligible for office anymore. If a Democrat tries to engage in insurrection, then they too wonāt be eligible. That you think defying the constitution is just something that everyone does sooner or later is very very weird.
The actual Confederates this was targeted against werenāt found guilty either. Thereās a reason āconvictedā doesnāt appear in this amendment.
Explain to me how Trumpās actions rise to the level of Confederate soldiers who literally killed fellow Americans. I bet you also think āsilence is violenceā.
The insurrection killed fellow Americans. Iām not even sure what your weird quip is supposed to reference. Sounds kind of like some bullshit you pick up in the make believe version of liberals presented by rightwing media and swallowed without question by gullible conservatives.

Was Trump found guilty of insurrection? I must have missed that. My mistake.
It doesnāt say found guilty. It says he done it.
