Eight years back around this time of the year, some Hollywood has-beens released a message urging Electoral College representatives to not vote for Trump, whom they deemed unfit to be President, before the results were certified. They hoped to convince enough Republican electors such that Trump's electoral college tally would be reduced to less than the required 270.
Concurrently, Electoral College representatives received death threats while anti-Trump protests and riots sprung up in Democrat-run states. These undemocratic efforts backed by Democrats failed and Trump was inaugurated on January 20, 2017.
This time, the Democrat insanity isn't overt -- possibly because the Democrats spent four years pushing the 'insurrection' hoax and used it during the bumbling word salad chef's fumbling campaign. Perhaps the Democrats don't want to appear blatantly hypocritical by rejecting Trump's emphatic victory. Perhaps they know their efforts will be futile and have settled to peddling hoaxes during the Trump presidency.
However, not all Democrats think a Trump Presidency in 2025 is unavoidable.
Recently, The Hill published a piece written by Columbia Law Review editor-in-chief Evan Davis and former editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal David Schulte, directed at Congress. The authors quote Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution to make the case that Trump's disqualification is based on insurrection against the Constitution:
“No person shall… hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath… to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
To support their insurrection claim, the authors cite evidence from three forums:
The first forum is Trump’s second impeachment trial.

An insurrection based on false claims that pointing out clear election fraud was an insurrection.
That article was a joke.
It couldn’t be taken seriously except maybe by 15 or so percent of the really insane voters.
And it would be political suicide and maybe a whole lot more if it happened.
One of the things that really needs to happen over the next 4 years is full exposure of Biden and their henchmen at the DOJ/police state agencies.
This needs to be inextricably linked to Biden and the Dems. Totally destroying the Dem brand so that anyone is embarrassed to be associated with the Dems.
I think that shaming is a more effective, sustainable strategy than vengeance. Shaming will produce oblivion, but vengeance could lead to sympathy.
Cash P. will get it done.
More proof Democrat desperation is escalating....
they cannot abide being on the outside looking in.
Until he’s in office…
The far-left’s deadly, “peaceful” insurrection must be stopped. Americans have got to stop communism, and we need to stop it here first. Communist humanoids are crap.
There was no insurrection or Trump would have been convicted of it. The only tragedy to come out of this is detained Americans for four years with no government accountability on violating Americans civil rights. And Ashley Bobbitt. Who is going to be accountable for her murder?
The pig that pulled the trigger/nazipelouzy/upchuckyschlepter to start with...
If That was enforced I would wager HALF of DC would be out of a job.!

Very well said.
Leftists don’t feel any shame. They only know what they dish out. That is why they were so upset about Gaetz and a person like Kash Patel.
Swift and harsh. Break them financially and give them time in the gulag as they did to people who are truly innocent of any crime.
These people actually tried to assassinate Trump. They deserve the very worst punishment.
Shaming and mockery. Evident contempt.
I know what my response will be. I really hope they don’t do this.
Well the US Supreme Court also ruled on the whole Native Born .vs. Natural Born issue.
But again, someone was elected president anyway.
We need to stop being reactive and start being proactive. Keep them on their heels for a change.
Three more weeks before the riots, burning, lawfare and pandemic scares begin.
that won’t work, these people have no shame. There needs to be tangible evidence of the consequences of their actions that leaves no one in any doubt that what they did was very wrong and should not be done again.
