    It’s literally a constitutional amendment my dude. This is how the democracy is structured, at the very foundational level. If you try to attack the lawful transfer of power, you aren’t eligible for office anymore. If a Democrat tries to engage in insurrection, then they too won’t be eligible. That you think defying the constitution is just something that everyone does sooner or later is very very weird.

        The actual Confederates this was targeted against weren’t found guilty either. There’s a reason “convicted” doesn’t appear in this amendment.

          Explain to me how Trump’s actions rise to the level of Confederate soldiers who literally killed fellow Americans. I bet you also think “silence is violence”.

            The insurrection killed fellow Americans. I’m not even sure what your weird quip is supposed to reference. Sounds kind of like some bullshit you pick up in the make believe version of liberals presented by rightwing media and swallowed without question by gullible conservatives.
