During the campaign, it was kind of hard to picture the specifics of how Trump might pull such a thing off. Alas, it’s getting less hypothetical by the week.

    This is exactly the situation that the 14th Amendment was created to prevent. Yet our worthless government refused to disqualify Trump from the 2024 election and let him be sworn in despite the fact that all of that was clearly illegal.

      The Supreme Court letting him run in direct opposition to the 14th amendment was a moment. There’s absolutely no way to interpret that as ok

        Lets him run? Fuck that, they paved the way and ensured it would happen. They are fully complicit in everything that is happening. This has been plain as day for years now.

        The coup is over, now the only thing that can save us is their incompetence.
