GOP-ers are up in arms (again) over Colorado bouncing Trump off the ballot there. Colorado had every right to do it as Trump is definitely guilty of insurrection.
It’s not the symbolic gesture they’re mad about; it’s because this action could move either Red states or Swing states to do the same. Colorado has been a Dem stronghold the last 4 elections. Trump lost it 41% to 55% against Biden in 2020. On or off the ballot, he still loses Colorado.
On Jan 6, 2021, he failed to do his duty to defend the Constitution, which is what he swore to do. Congress is an extension of the Constitution as they are Constitutional officers, so to speak. By failing to defend Congress from the anarchist mob, he failed to defend the Constitution.
Despite the myths surrounding Trump’s actions & reactions for Jan 6, the one thing we know for sure is that he did not call in the National Guard or anyone else to defend the Capital from the rioters. In fact, he encouraged them.
Just 3 minutes into his speech, he used the lie that the election was stolen to incite the riot, a claim that was never proven in any court anywhere. He told a lie to start the riots that stormed the Capitol. That’s insurrection.
He also said “If we don’t FIGHT LIKE HELL, you’re not going to have a country anymore.” He’s encouraging people to fight. He also said “WE are going to Capitol.” This is the move that started the riot.
Trump is guilty of insurrection and it’s all because he wants power so much and wants to win at all costs that he will create & promulagate lies to achive victory. Many notorious dictators in history have done the same. He’s even said he wants to be a dictator, even if for a day.
Forget about Jan 6 & everything he’s been charged with when looking at his character. He has so many other reasons why he shouldn’t be president that are completely overlooked by the GOP. Obnoxious, shady businessman, the many financial questions surrounding his true net worth, mocking a disabled person, the vulgar language he’s been recorded using while advocating the use of sexual assault against women, the shady university dealings, the thrice-married adulturer, his cozy relationship with Putin — this man’s character is the lowest of the low.
