    Can someone actually say what exactly this “threat to democracy” is? As far as I can see, only 1 side is trying to prosecute their opponents to stop them running for president. That seems like a huge threat to democracy, no?

      Yes, the author can. She wrote an entire article about it that you clearly didn’t read.

      And there it is, you’re just arguing in bad faith by deliberately misrepresenting Trump’s criminal prosecutions and ineligibility under the 14th amendment. Got it.

        Yet there’s not a single example in there. Can you please give me an example of this “threat to democracy”, and also explain how attempting to prosecute a political opponent isn’t a threat to democracy?
