Maine barred Donald Trump from the primary ballot Thursday, making it the second state in the country to block the former president from running again under a part of the Constitution that prevents insurrectionists from holding office.
The decision by Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (D) is sure to be appealed. The Colorado Supreme Court last week found Trump could not appear on the ballot in that state, and the Colorado Republican Party has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case. The nation’s high court could resolve for all states whether Trump can run again.
It would seem that a non-insignificant percentage of MAGA disagrees.
4D Chess? Do you mean strategically calculated political decisions? Or… “Politics.”
Why else would they be taking this path if
A “non-significant percentage of MAGA” believe what, exactly? That Trump is the current President of the US? That he resides in the oval office and writes executive orders? Because that’s not a take I’ve heard before.
And if so, why are they all riled up about “the big steal” that they don’t even believe happened?
I’m really trying to understand where you’re going with this.
I live in a red state, and this has been brought up more than once in conversations with my neighbors. One of my friends had family who brought it up last Thanksgiving, and, while I understand the “internet isn’t real life,” you can see it for yourself if you watch almost any video of someone interviewing MAGAs outside of a Trump rally.
These are the most likely to resort to violence. If you show them the man behind the curtain, he loses his appeal.
MAGA is far from a cohesive group with a unified world view, hence the “non-insignificant percentage”
All that being said… I’ll ask again. If he obviously never served his term and there’s no political strategy going on: Why is Maine doing it?
Your didn’t answer my question. They believe what, exactly?
I’ve seen plenty of them. Like I said, never heard this take before. Maybe you’d like to provide an example?
They’re not:
