Our repeated mistake is believing a guy that has no history of following rules and norms will suddenly decide to follow them as the most powerful “CEO” on the planet.
The Supreme Court already told them they can’t do that to get Trump on this ballot after he violated the 14th Amendment with his failed insurrection attempt last time. And they went with it. Why would they do this any differently?
What prevented the states from not listing the insurrectionist this last time?
Also, what state would stand up to the fascist that* they elected?
Also, when you’re the weak one in the group of fascists, a state* AG, Governor, or guy running the election, how long do you think you’d live or remain employed beyond you deciding to rock the boat here?
The Democrats never wanted him off the ballot, half the party, and all the powerful members, committed to the sloganeering ‘beat him at the ballot box’ whenever the 14th was discussed
They wanted to run against Trump again, and why not, record fundraising evry time they do, even when they lose.
Who’s going to enforce it? The House? The Senate? The supreme Court?
The law is just pieces of paper if the people who are supposed to enforce it don’t want to.

The states control the elections, enough of them could literally just refuse to put him on the ballot.
The Supreme Court already told them they can’t do that to get Trump on this ballot after he violated the 14th Amendment with his failed insurrection attempt last time. And they went with it. Why would they do this any differently?
The supreme court has no ability to enforce their decisions. The states can and have ignored their orders in the past.
If an order comes back that’s blatant enough, there will be pushback.

Is it more than 270 electoral votes worth? No? Then the blue states can have their little tantrum while the GOP laughs all the way back to a majority.
