Charlie is right.

I couldn’t have said it better myself!

We absolutely do need to expand our horizons of what could happen in 2024. Never forget how the liberal establishment used George Floyd as an excuse to unleash their minions in the 2020 election and create so much chaos that exhausted moderate voters would swing toward Joe Biden. They actually war gamed a scenario where the West Coast states would threaten to secede to stop Trump from being sworn in as president in 2021. It never happened, but these people were prepared for it.

New York Times:

But conveniently, a group of former top government officials called the Transition Integrity Project actually gamed four possible scenarios, including one that doesn’t look that different from 2016: a big popular win for Mr. Biden, and a narrow electoral defeat, presumably reached after weeks of counting the votes in Pennsylvania. For their war game, they cast John Podesta, who was Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, in the role of Mr. Biden. They expected him, when the votes came in, to concede, just as Mrs. Clinton had.

This is a republic, not a democracy.
 
The Deep State argument is very persuasive . Why would you want stupid people who contribute so little, having an equal voice? Which is why DS has developed and manipulated Lefties to act on their behalf to deflect all matters into apparent inter party battles .And that is the best way to deal with Stupid people -- Divide to Conquer -- if you are not going to just kill them .Or, do both through other controls --- fake viruses and fake cures and fake climate change narratives to herd them and take their money .
 
The point is some believe according to the constitution, trump is disqualified for running for office, under the 14th amendment clause...

They believe him being on the ballot is unconstitutional and believe that the American people should never be given an opportunity to vote on a ballot for a person who never qualified to be on the ballot.
 
The Republic started to die in 1913. Not saying what we are used to now is right or wrong. However, the constitution was usurped.
Yes, but we have the right to vote to kill off our own flesh and blood with abortion and then the right to take illicit drugs so we feel no pain afterwards

What other rights are there to care about?

Just imagine Constitutional Scholars, Professors and Judges knowing the 14th amendment and declaring that under it Donald Trump would be disqualified from running for office in 2024.

What are the odds that Constitutional Scholars would know it and say it?

It is a puzzlement !

I got it.

Regular Americans had to start paying Taxes.

Oh, the harm to the poor people who want things but do not want to pay for them.

Roads, bridges, schools, etc.


That is when so many people turned against the government. They turned against Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Health care ANYTHING which would benefit them in the long run.


Paying taxes is evil.
Too many Billionaires and Millionaires won't pay. Companies won't pay.


Not fair.

So, down with elections, with taxes, with governments. What is left?


A Monarchy?

Wait, Kings were taxing the poor all the time for their own coffers, their expensive lives and wars.



That is much better. Let us return to being part of a Monarchy.

The Secretary of State in each state, under their election law and u.s. constitution, determines the constitutional qualifications required, to be a Presidential Candidate.

They will not put Trump on the ballot due to the 14th amendment clause on insurrection, aiding enemies, etc etc.

The candidate will then sue the secretary of state, and challenge the disqualification. It will quickly, through expedited manner work its way up to the Supreme Court, they will rule on it being constitutional or not....

Is my understanding of the process....

It will depend on which Secretary of State will follow the 14th Amendment. There will be lawsuits, etc, etc. Nothing easy until it is over after 11/5/24 as explained by Constutional Professor Laurence Tribe and others.
