      Like Trump is the operative wording. Problem is that if a criminal conviction prohibits one from running for political office, the fascist parties worldwide will absolutely use that requirement to automatically disqualify all their opponents by charging them with absolute bullshit crimes, that in many functional democracies are still crimes and most people don’t know those laws even exist. No one knows how to legally define “like Trump,” similarly to the fact that there is no clade of “fish.”

        Just start enforcing the constitutional ban on insurrectionists holding office that the corrupt Supreme Court nullified.

        You are acting like they aren’t already putting or trying tonout all their opponents in prison. Or worse.
