It was not Mississippians that banned Davis.

in 1860 Lincoln was not allowed on ballots in several southern states.

The insurrection or rebellion proscribed in the 14th Amendment is against the U.S. Constitution. Grump swore to uphold the Constitution, then engaged in insurrection against it. His insurrection included the fake electors, trying to convince state lawmakers and election officials to alter election results, trying to convince Americans that there was voter fraud that had altered the election when in fact he knew he had lost the election, planning to remove and replace the attorney general and other justice department officials to try to pressure the department to spread his allegations of election fraud, trying to pressure VP Pence to refuse to count electoral votes on January 6th.

Assembling the rioters and then sending them to the Capitol and then ignoring requests to speak against the violence and failing to act quickly to stop the attack and tell his supporters to exit the Capitol – these were just the final January 6th acts of insurrection committed by Grump.
The problem with these California-style deceptive assumptions is Trump is on video requesting with his supporters to protest the election--which was and will go down in history as highly suspect for obvious reasons (and what kind of fools would have voted for this current feeble, disoriented, bumbling and doddling old fart anyway!?)--and asking an ignorant Nancy Pelosi to request the National Guard be at the Capitol as a precaution, as well as PLEADING WITH ANYONE AND EVERYONE WHO CHOSE TO GET INVOLVED TO DO SO PEACEFULLY.

These facts alone won't preclude Trump-hating juries and judges to dismiss all the bogus claims--as they so obviously would be doing under non-Deranged Trump Syndrome influence. But they will appear in the simple common sense side of the ledger when the case gets to the Supreme Court.

Better days are ahead for this currently sad and pathetic country. Just give it time to de-woke, de-Obama, de-Biden, and de-bunk the entire corrupt and deranged system. Trump will return.
