    Acting like people are trying to remove trump from the ballot “just because they don’t like them” is ridiculous. If anything, this would set a precedent that trying to interrupt election proceedings to declare yourself the winner is actually perfectly fine.

      I live in one of the states that removed him from the ballot and my dad is a trumper and that is EXACTLY what he thinks. Because in his opinion Trump didn’t do anything wrong so he’s being taken off the ballot “because they don’t like him.”

          But we also shouldn’t give them a means to exercise that stupidity. We kinda live in an age of revenge politics where too many peoples reason for voting is to vote against the guy they hate instead wanting to vote for the guy they like.

            This is not a valid reason to allow an insurrectionist to wander around rabble rousing for another fascist takeover.
