If Trump Is Not an Insurrectionist, What Is He?

3 years ago by silence7 to c/usa

The former president is just the man the 14th amendment envisioned barring from office.

Trump sought and actively tried to subvert constitutional government and overturn the results of the presidential election. And what he could not do through the arcane rules and procedures of the Electoral College, he tried to do through the threat of brute force, carried out by an actual mob.

The one possible out is that he hasn't been completely convicted of the crimes involved yet. I really hope he is soon. It worries me that he might get some court to say "no, he's not been charged, put him back on the ballot", and then he is, and then they go "no double jeopardy on taking him off the ballot, we went over this"
