Trump sought and actively tried to subvert constitutional government and overturn the results of the presidential election. And what he could not do through the arcane rules and procedures of the Electoral College, he tried to do through the threat of brute force, carried out by an actual mob.
Frankly, I disagree. Reading only the headline is one thing but there is also an apparent lack of reading comprehension.
It’s clear in just the title that the author questions how Trump’s behaviour leading up to Jan 6th can be described as anything besides “insurrectionist”. I really had no reason to be surprised that the body of the opinion piece covers why Trump’s actions are clearly would disqualify him from the ballot, and also the supreme court’s involvement weighing in on how it gets enforced and by whom.
