it is plain bad faith to pretend that the Senate was voting on the facts of whether Trump violated the 14th amendment. the man could have handed the nuclear football to Putin on the Senate floor and Republican senators would still vote not guilty. that the Senate acquitted him is entirely irrelevant to the question of whether he broke the law or is unfit to serve.

the electorate has demonstrated that they can't be trusted to make decisions in line with the rule of law or in the best interests of the country itself. if it's anti democratic to say "no you can't elect a dead gorilla as president, I don't care how many of you think it's a hilarious meme," then I guess I'm anti democratic. the fact that they're voting for him despite his hundreds of crimes shows they're not voting in good faith, they're voting for revenge.

@Wbtphdjd the fact that we cast votes at all means we do have a democracy. any healthy democracy still needs guardrails.
