The 14th Amendment and the Democrats' Plan to End Trump

Dress Rehearsals for Progressive Fascism are Underway

"Democracy is not the opposite of dictatorship; it is the cause of dictatorship."
George Bernanos

There is no such thing as a witch hunt against Donald Trump. As absurd as the unprecedented arrest of a political opponent during an election cycle by the Biden Regime may be, it is not a witch hunt. Rather, it is a dress rehearsal. A dress rehearsal for fascism.

Commenting on the legal warfare being waged against Trump by countless Democrat minions at every level — and clearly coordinated from the White House —, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said the quiet part out loud:

“The point is that the constitutional purpose is clear, to keep people exactly like Donald Trump and other traitors to the union from holding public office.”

The Regime knows that there is nothing in the Constitution stating that an arrest will prevent Trump from running though, which is the ultimate goal. Therefore, all of this so-called witch hunt is nothing but a dress rehearsal, a focus group to gauge people’s reactions, return to the drawing board, and update the master plan.

They announce charges and take notes on DeSantis’ statements in response; they announce an indictment and check the headlines run by Fox News. Announce Trump’s arrest and the intelligence community begins to scour Twitter.

A deep-state Leviathan colluding in a singular effort to defeat Trump and undermine democracy. Like any fascist undertaking, they are convinced that they are ‘fighting an external threat for the common good’. They have proven that they are willing to meddle with elections in the name of promoting democracy, silence dissenters in the name of freedom, and if turning the country into a banana republic is what it takes to ‘save’ it, they will happily do so. Ethics don’t apply.

They know you don’t become a banana republic without running a few banana plantations first.

14th Amendment and the Endgame

There are only three Constitutional requirements that apply to prospective presidential candidates: being a natural-born citizen, at least 35 years old, and a resident of the USA for at least 14 years.

However, Section 3 of the 14th Amendment — ratified in 1868 following the Civil War — includes a 'disqualification clause' that was specifically written to target former Confederate soldiers. It reads:

“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”

Forget about Stormy Daniels or the classified documents in Mar-a-Lago. This is the Democrats’ latest silver bullet. The indictment, arraignment, perp walk… are just a smokescreen, a focus group for what might be coming (or, at least, what they are actively pursuing).

This goal is openly admitted by Bill Clinton’s former Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich, and former NY Assistant Attorney General Tristan Snell. And, as reported by The Hill, “a handful of Democrats, constitutional scholars, and pro-democracy [sic] advocates have been quietly exploring how a post-Civil War amendment to the Constitution might be used to disqualify former President Trump from holding office again.”

The Hill includes among those Rep. Jerry ‘Defund the Police’ Nadler (D-N.Y.), Chair of the House Judiciary Committee; and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) , who resigned in disgrace as Chair of the DNC for — wait for it — rigging the Democratic primaries in favor of Hillary Clinton in 2016. You can’t make this stuff up.

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) — who in 2018 called for a military coup to overthrow Trump— introduced a bill which would allow Merrick Garland, the Biden Regime’s attorney general, to make the case that Trump should be barred from future office before a three-judge panel, as he reasoned in a letter to a top election official in Georgia:

“Just as states are permitted (if not required) to exclude from the presidential ballot a candidate who is not a natural born citizen, who is underage, or who has previously been elected twice as president, so too states should exclude from the ballot a candidate, such as Mr. Trump, who previously swore to support the Constitution, but then engaged in insurrection.”

Calling for a military coup and then accusing someone of “inciting an insurrection,” again, you can’t make this stuff up.

So, to no one’s surprise, ‘Insurrection’ is the name of the game in the Democrats’ long con. That’s exactly what the special counsel — and Merrick Garland’s henchman — Jack Smith, who recently secured an indictment against Trump over classified government records, is tasked with proving (that is, when “he is not busy competing in Ironman swim-cycle-run triathlon races,” according to a glowing profile by Reuters).

Meanwhile, CREW — a Democratic lawfare lobby group — has vowed to file lawsuits at the state level seeking Trump’s disqualification under the 14th Amendment, citing “overwhelming” evidence that he “engaged in insurrection” by inciting the events on January 6th.

And some precedent for it might have already been set. The same lobby group was successful in a somewhat similar lawsuit in New Mexico when a judge ordered Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin to be removed from office. The ruling stated that January 6th amounted to an insurrection and that Griffin’s participation in it disqualified him under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

That decision marked the first time since 1869 that a court has disqualified a public official under Section 3, and the first time that any court has ruled the events of January 6th to be an insurrection.

However, it is possible that a Constitutional technicality shields Trump from Section 3 disqualification, as it is unclear whether the 14th Amendment applies to the office of U.S. President.

You Say You Want An Insurrection?

The Democrats have their work cut out for them to disqualify Trump from running for office: first, they need to establish that January 6th indeed constituted an insurrection; second, they need to establish that Trump incited said insurrection; and third, they need to establish that the 14th Amendment applies.

On the first part, there have been three instances where prosecutors have secured convictions for charges of ‘seditious conspiracy’ in connection with the events of January 6th. Trump may face such potential charges either in Fulton County, Georgia, with regard to 2020 election challenges or at the federal level with regard to January 6th.

The problem for Democrats is that the Constitution doesn’t provide a definition for ‘insurrection’. Not even the ‘Insurrection Act’ provides such a definition. A problem for Trump is that Mitt Romney and Mitch McConnell, for example, have called January 6th an ‘insurrection’ on the same day, one can only hope due to the heat of the moment and lacking proper information.

On the second part, whether Trump ‘incited’ the events on January 6th may not be as straightforward to prove in court as the Democrats might imagine. Under the standard set by the 1969 case Brandenburg v. Ohio, even speech advocating illegal conduct is protected under the 1st Amendment, unless it is “directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to produce such action.” It's worth noting that so far, Democrats have been unable to provide proof that Trump even did that.

The third part, establishing that the 14th Amendment holds, is where things get interesting. Let’s say Trump is convicted of ‘seditious conspiracy,’ like the other January 6th-related cases. The 14th Amendment never mentions ‘sedition,’ which is the usual term to describe verbal incitement to an insurrection. Trump’s defence could argue that even if January 6th was an insurrection, and even if Trump verbally incited it, he would then be guilty of sedition, not insurrection per se as he never engaged in the activities, and therefore would not be subject to the 14th Amendment.

Here it is important to observe the precedent of Socialist leader Eugene Debs, who ran for president in 1920 while in jail— convicted precisely of sedition. He even promised to pardon himself if elected. Debs, who naturally had previously been a Democrat, received 914,000 votes— or 3.4% of the popular vote that year.

But even if the Democrats manage to successfully convict Trump and disqualify him from ever running for office again, a major stumbling block will stand between the Democrats' lust for power and the integrity of American democracy: the Supreme Court.

Grinding Democracy on the Wheels of the Deep State

The wheels of government are being used to grind down political opponents and, contrary to the State Propaganda motto, democracy is dying under the lights of the Enlightenment.

Because the dress rehearsals for the Democrats' version of fascism are being held in broad daylight, it is easy for everyone to see. The use of the government machinery to crush a political opponent is far from the first step in the process. The Democrats have been holding these rehearsals for quite some time now.

They rehearsed the end of our individual freedoms when they pushed the draconian Covid lockdowns. They rehearsed the end of our freedom of speech with their ‘hate speech’ laws and cancel culture. They rehearsed the end of our economic freedom with ESG and CBDCs.

Now they are rehearsing the end of our political freedom. Again, the persecution of political opponents is not the first step in the process; for a long time, Democrats have been meddling with elections, whether by promoting false narratives like the ‘Steele Dossier’ or engaging in extensive ballot harvesting.

If the Democrats are successful in disqualifying Trump for 2024 by judicialising the elections, they will effectively create a super Electoral College – a class of political activists weaponising lawfare to filter political candidates and keep the “deplorables” at bay.

In true fascistic fashion, they will gladly sacrifice the greatest and most sacred political right in a democracy and forever conflate the political and judiciary realms, subjecting the people's sovereign will to the capriciousness of an anointed caste, rendering the dissidents’ citizenship into something secondary and precarious – all in the name of the greater good. And to fight a common threat.

Trump famously said that "they're not after me, they're after you, I'm just in the way." In many ways, he is right; if he gets ground down by the Deep State machinery, we will be a giant step closer to full-on progressive fascism.

If Trump gets disqualified, it is democracy that will be removed from the ballot in 2024.
