      Article 3 of the 14th Amendment has been invoked at least 8 times in the past few centuries. Please review them and explain to me you think how Trump deserves better treatment than the previous 8 people.

      Trump doesn’t believe in due process. He’s literally said as much.

      His people don’t believe in due process.

      If he is allowed to get back into the white house, he will absolutely ignore every single thing preventing him from going full dictator. Due process won’t matter to him, the rule of law won’t matter to him, the goddamn constitution won’t matter to him.

      But at least you’ll be able to feel smug knowing that you almost got “bluemaga” to be a thing.

        It has been a thing, you not being aware of it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

        Your entire comment is meaningless hyperbole.

      Not having even the basic understanding of the law? How moronic of you.

        Basic understanding of law means a basic understanding of due process and how everyone is entitled to it. Not just the people you agree with. Denying due process to those you oppose makes you the same type of dictator liberals claim to hate.

          Yes but you don’t seem to understand that due process in this case doesn’t mean he needs a criminal trial and conviction for him to be removed.

          Read the 14th amendment then tell me where it mentions “convicted of insurrection” - it does not. It only mentions participation, or even supporting someone who participated.

          Trump is receiving the due process as we speak right now.
