Sadly, I think he's right, it may come to civil war.
HEaven forbid, the world is dangerous enough as it is.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I wonder what kind of gun he thinks Jesus would use to murder the gays, libs and brown people? Just asking questions...
He's not wrong. You can't backdoor disqualify him. You need to beat him.
Already did.
Yes but if the Dems decide not to run one of the two least popular Democratic presidential candidates in my lifetime, they'll beat him soundly enough to end his whole political movement.
And in your opinion, does the 14th amendment of the Constitution prohibiting individuals who engaged in seditious acts against our democracy from holding office count as a "backdoor disqualification"?
It does if it's Congress deciding that the seditious acts happened instead of a criminal court convicting him of it, which is part of what's being discussed.
Nothing backdoor about this. The wheels of justice always move slower than we like. The GA interference and Jan 6th investigations started shortly after they occurred in 2021 and they've finally culminated in charges. The jury will decide if Trump committed crimes, and thankfully in GA at least we'll all get to hear the arguments and testimony of both sides.
Nobody is above the law. We have all heard Trump attempting to manipulate the GA secretary of state to throw the election. We have Pence stating clearly Trump wanted him to illegally invalidate state electors. We've heard Trumps claims the election was rigged but none of his lawyers have submitted any evidence of that in any of the states, so was he intentionally lying? I'm sure we'll hear much more during the trial. The jury will decide.
There's lawsuits out now trying to dq him ssns conviction. And suggestions of Congress declaring him guilty by fiat.
