But like...that's the thing. They have to look for a credible case to remove their political opponents. In contrast, the reason to remove Trump is self-evident, even to Republicans.
Conservatives think any consequences they have is retaliation.
So they don't see the difference in this.
It's just the lack of empathy, if they do something illegal, they assume everyone else does it too so it's fine. If they get in trouble, it's obviously not fair because in their head they're being singled out.
God can you imagine Biden saying, “it’s not persecution you dumb fuck, it’s consequences for your actions!”
Nope.
And that's the problem. Biden would never say it because he thinks there's still a bipartisan future.
I’d rather our Presidents weakness be “hope for a return to normalcy” than “Putin’s hot gooey load”.
Everything Republicans do is retaliation for things Trump has done to himself. There are 0 credible reasons to remove Biden from ANY state ballot, but they’ll try to find a way regardless.
Then they will be sued, and they will lose. Unlike the GOP, the Democrats have really good lawyers.
That's because GOP lawyers are too busy advocating for the death penalty for homosexuals in Africa
What's more, if they are going to remove Biden for failing to prevent illegal immigration (despite actually having significantly higher arrest and deportation numbers under Biden than Trump), then they should reasonable have to remove Trump as well... given, you know, the whole insurrection thing. To not do so would imply that the supposed failure of a president to sufficiently address one very complicated issue (even though he's better than Trump on this issue by their own metrics) is worse than attempting to coerce officials into "finding" votes for him, conspiring to produce fraudulent electors, lying and defaming for months about supposed fraud that had no basis in fact, and, of course, inciting an insurrection on the capital building.
And they won’t give Biden the money to fix a border crisis because they know it will help his approval numbers leading up to the election.
More importantly, the Democrats also have better arguments and facts (at least in this case).
Yep. If there was a credible case, it would already be motoring through the court.
