That's vague but it's also your opinion of him, not an example of how you support him.I think he might be relevent, somehow. You know, other than not being Trump.
Signing an oath not to overthrow the government is bullshit that hurts his platform? What's his platform? Fascism?1st. Legal redundancy regarding a platform of no bullshit, it's bullshit, and hurts his platform.
*gestures around wildly*2nd. The insinuation that he violated the constitution, but without an authority that says so.
Define authority, because clearly these don't qualify:
- The 117th Congress (impeachment).
- The state of Colorado (ballot disqualification).
- The state of Maine (ballot disqualification).
- Multiple members of Trump's own administration (sworn statements).
How is it kow-towing to sign a document that is standard practice? A document he previously signed on two occasions (2016, 2020).3rd. You think that if he kowtowed, it would work out for his benefit. I don't.
I do think states barring him from the ballot is being received negatively by many conservatives and TBH, unlike the vast majority of conservative ideas, I can see why. It's unprecedented in contemporary American history and aligns with Trump's narrative of election interference. However, the two factors are not mutually exclusive nor does one negate the other. Also, removing Trump from the ballot is unprecedented but so are his actions that justify removing him from the ballot.I honestly think that states barring him from the election is doing a lot more for him than against. You say that you understand that there are conservatives that are concerned about democracy, but have you talked to them about how they feel about the Colorado thing? You are free to believe what you do, but I cannot, despite my attempt.
And I asked if you thought he was guilty and you dodged the question. I asked that for a reason. By guilty do you mean convicted or simply that he actually did the thing? Because in the case of the latter but not the former, he still has a lot at stake.It was to point out that accusing someone of something has a lot less at stake than to be guilty of the accusation.
The decision about the ballot is going to be made by SCOTUS. Again, what effect do you think this document would have on that, since you brought it up.That document wouldn't involve SCOTUS.
