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.

“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.

“… Shaming will produce oblivion…”
Shaming requires a conscience. It won’t work of the left. Lock ‘em up.
SINCE HE ALSO WON THE POPULAR VOTE——THEN WHAT????
Just because a person was on trial doesn’t mean they were guilty. Let’s put Biden & others of that bunch on trial. Of course, it may take a few days to draw up all the charges.
Exactly.
You are correct that leftists have no shame. That doesn’t matter as long as the majority public can still see that their acts are shameful. That’s basically what has happened with the DEI and transgender issues.
