    Actually, NO it isn't "election interference" This is the line from the T. team. They use that as a blanket excuse.
    By virtue of his past performance and chronic legal issues , including current ones that have indicated his anti democratic actions .....he should be disqualified from running

    Wanna bet, if he was a DEM and carried the same level of negative baggage and behaved so childishly and undiplomatically ..he would have been discredited early on, His cult like followers are so mesmerized by T , not sure they can be objective anymore.

    reread my comment a few more times, until your desire to twist my words reduces to zero.

    Well, as Reagan once said, 'there you go, again'.

    Democracy is a rather frail thing. I'm not the only one to make that claim.

    A demagogue is a threat to democracy, and a demagogue can use democracy, usurp, and destroy it, if the electorate isn't vigilant.

    The best thing to do with a demagogue is precisely what we are trying to with the demagogue.

    14a Sec 3 does not refer to the President.

    I agree than a Dem will get the trump-treatment in response and that things will continue to go down this ugly path. If you are a dem, you are in no position to criticize cult-like following. If anything, dems want more government doing more of our thinking for us. I am not a fan of trump and would never vote for him.

    Dems are on the T team and work for him free of charge every day. Someone like him would never have a chance if it weren't for the Dems making him a better choice than the woke, broke, joke they are creating.

    What do you mean? What among Dems rises to the level of maintaining support for Trump after all he has done?

    It is only a matter of time until a Dem gets the trump-treatment. Perhaps reps will find similar ways to circumvent the will of voters and we will see lots of outrage from the same people cheering for this.

    Cult-like following involves turning off ones mind and allowing others to do your thinking for you. The leader of the cult makes more decisions for the follower.

    Dems support big government and more government involvement in our decisions and are therefor more cult-like than those who would vote for trump.

    Gee, that was as convoluted as it was a fundamental misunderstanding of what cult-like behavior actually looks like.

    Why will we have to swallow the bitter pill of truth?

    Trying to disqualify Trump is playing with fire.

    The psychology behind cult-like following is not complicated. While support for Trump does not fit the definition, those using it as an insult are the pot calling the kettle a cult follower.

    Exactly…. As Joe Biden knowingly participated in a treasonous failed coup and failed insurrection to spy on American citizens and attempted overthrow of a duly elected president… he should be next on the chopping block.

    No, it's justice.

    Justice matters.

    Quite a few people see it as retribution, not justice. And there are enough of them to make BLM riots look like picnics .

    That is a rather blase attitude.

    I get the feeling some hate Trump more than they love America.

    Does not seem to matter to T supporters. The more he gets away with, the better they like him.

    No doubt. But are you willing to provoke them into action?

    Will it serve justice or democracy if Biden has to declare martial law?

    It's a fact that some hate Trump more than they live the country and the Constitution. We're seeing that on full display.

    Hysterics.

    Sorry, not seeing a counter argument in your comment.
