They see the office of the president as *the most important one*, and why wouldn't they intend to bar an insurrectionist from holding the most important elected office, but bar them from others? People can't fathom why they would allow an insurrectionist into such a powerful position. But the president wasn't that powerful or important back then. The office hadn't been expanded with all of the powers it has today. It was merely a figurehead and rubber stamp. The power resided with the people in the house and congress. I also think that the president isn't as scrutinized because he's elected by the ENTIRE country, not just a district in bum fuck Mississippi, and overly restricting who can and can't be president would essentially restrict democracy. This is also the reason I could see the SC denying the disqualification. It would prompt states to start denying candidates based on whatever they can find instead of allowing everyone to run, effectively restricting democracy.

It's actually pretty simple. If the majority of the states in the nation decide to elect someone who actually waged war against the US government, then that means that the majority of the nation thinks that that candidate was correct to wage war against the US government. That's how "by, for, and of the people" works.

Have a good Christmas frens, let your faith be heard in your prayers, peace and calm with your families, prepare for a year of deliberate hardships from the elites, let the meme magic flow.

We've got the Meatball team lashing out so hard as he falls apart I think they are going full kamikaze as I think they are the ones who SWAT’d jack posobiecs parents over the weekend with others, and Fag Smith is one filing away from saying “this is purely political please help me DC UwU.”

I had erased that point, but I do find it just as valid for why the president would be excluded. The president is THE most democratic position in the US in that its the sum of the will of the people. Any president so untenable to the population as a whole wouldn't earn one single EC vote.

Hey, remember when I was marked as "Optimistic" when I said that the response to a clearly fraudulent election would not be outright condemnation but instead that all our allies would slowly distance themselves from us? This is what, the eighth instance where the U.S. was unprecedentedly snubbed by our own allies?

Yah, the doomers can eat those rainbows.

This by the way is further proof that no, this is not some grand global conspiracy where everyone is on the same page. The world makes far more sense when you realize that its all a bunch of loosely aligned people with similar end goals but who are inevitably out for themselves above all. This operation does nothing but serve the interests of the WEF and the globalists', it is literally about protecting global trade the lifeblood of both. Still fell through because nobody trusts America. And this goes back to more of what I was saying when the Afghanistan debacle happened, other major countries were willing to ignore the fraud so long as they believed the ship was running well, that debacle ensured that no trust in military, domestic, or foreign matters could ever be had. And now the cost is being paid.

Last year I went to visit my cousin in Italy. Know what him and his friends were busting my balls about the whole time? How the US doesn't have the right to police the world anymore since our elections are a joke and clearly fake.

I mean it wasn't just my cousin - it was his friends, my other relatives, their friends.
The lugenpresse in the USA can gaslight us all they want about how our elections are legit, once you step outside the US, that's not how the world sees us - just that media refuses to let us know. I just saw one example from being in Italy and I'm sure it's not the only one by a long shot.

I mean, my cousin couldn't give a shit about Trump - I don't even think he likes him to be honest. It's not like they were sticking up for Trump, Trump had nothing to do with it. It was them ripping on me because now the mask was off and everyone in Italy knows we're a joke and our elections are worse than a banana republic and we're still trying to tell others how to live. So they felt the need to just bust my balls endlessly about that. And since I was the American (and Italians love nothing more than to bust someone's balls) I got the brunt of the teasing.

No, not that they think the election was weird or their might have been fraud. In their minds, just from everything they've watched from overseas, it's clearly obvious the election was rigged and we're a laughingstock. And it wasn't just one random person saying it.

That's been my conclusion for a while, I just don't have the fortune to leave the country and find out first hand. The only people that I've seen who live outside of North America have been a mix of the most posed Euros; German and Brittish. However, my other friends in Finland and Norway have said the same thing; they can't talk about it with other Americans because regardless if you're left or right, they both squeal all the same and they are tired of hearing the denial. It is pretty tiring and hopefully sobering to those that hear it and need to hear it.

what based euro news even covered the stolen election?

It literally had its own logo of two arcs with the blue one jumping over the red one. Social media caught the steal happening in real-time. In fact Europe probably caught on sooner then Americans as they were awake when the 3am ballot dump happened.

Social media companies rushing to hide the steal was impossible to miss, as posts were automatically flagged, blocked, or got a "context note" even if they were unrelated but used the right keywords. The absolute fight over truth was huge and impossible to miss on the English internet. The story of why Twitter was being bought out and what Musk discovered they were up to was huge. It was a literal information war on a grand scale and that's hard to miss.

My favorite thing about the "Context Notes" was EVERY SINGLE ELECTION was always annotated with "Joe Biden won the election"

So you'd see High Schools and Middle Schools with something like "Congrats to Jane Doe for winning School President" and right below was "This post is disinformation. Joe Biden won the election!"

Some schools put up shit like "Congrats to Joe Biden for winning School Treasurer!"

There was a TTRPG group I was following that held elections and the FB thing put a note "JOE BIDEN WON THE ELECTION! REEEE! DISINFORMATION!!! REEE!" after they posted who won President.

It was fucking hilarious.

And even a half wit would've found it suspicious. People knew that they weren't allowed to talk about it, but they also knew that if the election was legitimate social media wouldn't have gone that far.

It was sufficiently funny and interesting that it was what FunnyJunk was focused on for months, and that site acts as a canary for the internet's silent majority so if something goes big there that means most people online know what happened.

It was even harder to miss on French, German and Spanish socmed because the censorship teams are a lot of the time lead by English natives with a second language rather than native Spanish speakers etc

They also tend to be massively hierarchical along with HR in tech where the dev and ops teams are more flat. Native speaker from Argentina has to put it up the chain that we need to respond to colloquial word X implying corruption to the TL with an essay on why in an Argentinian perspective it means this rather than it's dictionary meaning etc etc

This lead to significant lag in response to "misinformation" in foreign languages on Twitter and Facebook etc
