    Only if he is charged with either aiding or inciting an insurrection. It has to specifically be one of those charges, or actual treason based on all of the legal interpretations I have seen.

        Well yea. A felon running for prez implies they are the right kind of felon: wealthy.

        While a felon who can’t vote is : poor, poc, not worthy of participating in our lovely, high-water mark democracy.

      He did tell them to “March down there and fight like hell” just after Ghouliani said we need to have “Trial by combat.”

      That’s inciting stupid people to do something stupid.

        I agree that it was incitement. I would also personally argue that Donald Trump is in fact a traitor. However, my personal opinion and what he can be tried and convicted for by a jury of his peers are two entirely different things.
