According to CNN, “Maine pitched the 2024 election into deeper chaos and constitutional confusion Thursday by becoming the second state to throw Donald Trump off the ballot over the January 6, 2021, US Capitol riot. The move from the Maine secretary of state — following a similar decision from the Colorado Supreme Court earlier this month — worsened a growing crisis for Trump’s campaign and strengthened the rationale for the US Supreme Court to take up the issue, arising from the 14th Amendment’s ‘insurrectionist ban.’ It has already exacerbated the havoc already surrounding the election and could cement ever wider national divides. The increasing uncertainty urgently needs a resolution, with Iowa poised to kick off voting in the Republican nominating race on January 15 and other key ballot deadlines looming. Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a Democrat, paused her decision pending a potential appeal in state court, which Trump’s team said they intend to file.”
There is no sense in pouring on accolades for this no-brainer decision since SCOTUS will undo all of this progress. They’ll undo Colorado’s and Maine’s decisions because this is a pro-insurrectionist SCOTUS. Strike that, actually: This is a pro-insurrectionist country. This nation of f***tards loves their insurrectionists — from the Civil War to January 6. And the remaining 55 percent that aren’t explicitly pro-insurrectionist are at least, in part, insurrectionist-curious. Whatever! Nothing matters anymore because no one f***ing cares! All this makes traitor trump more popular because I’m surrounded by morons. Morons everywhere, everywhere morons! As I said before, SCOTUS is going to turn the 14th Amendment from the anti-insurrectionist amendment into the pro-insurrectionist amendment because I live in stupid f***ing hell, and people just don’t care about their democracy. Mark my words, morons. Mark them well. Idiot Americans are missing the more significant anti-democracy movement plaguing countries worldwide. We like to think we’re immune from this trend when, in fact, we’re the ones setting it. Welcome to stupid America, where democracy dies!
