This effort to remove Trump from the 2024 presidential ballot is Banana Republic republic tier behavior. It’s a telltale sign of the dysfunctional nature of our political epoch.
Should the ruling class pull off this naked form of despotism, the US will accelerate into tyrannical chaos that would make the Founding generation roll over in its grave.
