Enacted in the wake of the Civil War, Section 3 of the 14th Amendment disqualifies from public office any individual who has taken an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution but then engages in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or gives aid or comfort to its enemies. No prior criminal conviction is required.

Trump was targeted by plaintiffs in cases for his role in “inciting and facilitating” the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, just after the November 2020 general election in which President Joe Biden defeated Trump.

    Pre-Trump, Republican voters claimed to set the bar at electing “a man’s man” and “someone I could have a beer with”, not fancy suit, grey poupon Obama who might be Muslim. It made sense to attack Trump as the lazy, prissy, little bitch he is and point out all the commandments hes broken. Problem is there’s no sincerity in those voters. They’re not American or religious. Just racist, misogynist, severely undereducated, and under deep control by their handlers who have taught them to fear everything.
