There's an insurrection thing in the constitution.
"Section 3 of the 14th Amendment was written to keep former confederates from
returning to government office. It reads:

"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of
President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the
United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a
member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any
State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to
support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in
insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the
enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove
such disability."

The provision was used often in the years immediately after the Civil War, but
fell into disuse after Congress granted an amnesty to many confederate veterans
in 1872. The only record of it being used in the 20th century, according to
legal scholars, was as justification in refusing to seat a socialist congressman
in 1919 because he opposed U.S. involvement in World War I."

They want to eliminate the ability for Trump to run. That's been their gameplan
all along. Even though at his speech trump literally said  "I know that everyone
here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and
patriotically make your voices heard."

I'm pretty sure you can just write him into the ballot.

If we DO have another election, I'm sure it will be full of fraud anyways.
i'm not even sure I'm even going to vote.
