I agree with the sentiment that his actions should preclude him from running, but felon disenfranchisement is something that isn’t talked about nearly enough and I think it’s absolutely insane so many people lose their RIGHT to vote.
Given the surge in felony disenfranchisement laws during the Civil War and after the adoption of the 14th Amendment makes it pretty damn clear that it was to keep black people from voting. And looking at the US map of the 2023 felony disenfranchisement laws, it is pretty damn clear that not much has changed.
The worst part about all this is many who stormed the capital had nice businesses, trucks and income. I agree with the need to study this brain-dead disease though. Either our population is more absurdly stupid than is measurable or they all ate lead paint chips as a child.

What’s scary is just how susceptible people are to cults.
