      Enforcing the law isn’t fascism. Insurrectionists aren’t permitted to hold office.

      Edit to add, it’s not like President Vance would be any better.

        He was never actually charged for the insurrection though, was he? Just all the fraud, for which he’ll never be held accountable because our garbage-ass justice system had to treat him with fucking kid gloves. Not that they really bothered doing anything about the rank-and-file bootlicker scumbags who did participate, anyway.

        Best I can hope for now is that the fucker ends up with locked-in syndrome or something. But, to your second point, you’re right, none of it matters because Vance is a sack of human waste too.

          That’s not a requirement according to the amendment. This is also why they’ve spent so much effort on downplaying it, trying to call it anything other than what it was. The Congressional inquiry determined that it was in fact an insurrection and it has been defined as such officially. As written, the inability to hold office should be self-enforcing, the Supreme Court went out of their way to interpret it in a way that it most definitely does not say.

            Welp, got my number; I wasn’t fully aware, and that’s my mistake. In that case, yeah, by all means, fourteenth that bastard the hell out of office. Too bad our legislature comprises cowards, halfwits, and enablers.

      Can you describe how preventing trump, who participated in an insurrection, from holding office is fascist?
