I dont. I dont like trump. I hope he gets convicted for his crimes. But so far he hasnt. People are direly minimizing how dangerous a precedent it is to bar a frontrunner candidate from an election. That is millions of Americans who are being told they cant vote for who they want to, by the opposition party. Later on Trump will preach to them about democracy being taken away from them, and theyll have quite the reason to believe him. This wont go well.
It wouldn’t be a dangerous precedent. What WOULD be a dangerous precedent would be to let someone who clearly engaged in insurrection run for President unmolested.
Do you really think it’s undemocratic to protect democracy from someone approaching fascism?
You got any examples of this “approaching fascism”? Fascism seems to be the latest word that the “tolerant left” don’t actually understand and are diluting the meaning of it.
Ah yes, the bit where he told people to be peaceful and to not cause any damage or harm anyone.
There was no “attempted insurrection”. No one was attempting to overthrow the government lol. A bunch of people walked through open doors, doors opened by the police and security, and basically were given a tour of the building while taking selfies.
Remind me - is prosecuting a political opponent leading up to an election protecting democracy or approaching fascism?
Why exactly do you want to vote for a treasonous insurrectionist? Why should such a person be allowed to run?

How about inciting an attempted insurrection?

Oh, I see. Another denier. A True Believer!
How were they trying to overthrow the government exactly?
Oh, I dunno - possibly by storming the seat of government in the name of a guy who lost an election?
Don’t play dumb. Or maybe you’re not playing…
How does that overthrow the government?
How many selfies do you have to take in a government building before the government is overthrown?
So, it doesn’t count because they were incompetent and didn’t get what they wanted.
