Eighty one percent of Democrats believe states should disqualify former president Donald Trump from presidential ballots, according to a new CBS News/YouGov poll.
By contrast, 90 percent of Republicans believe states should keep Trump’s name on the ballot.
Independents are more closely split: 44 percent believe states should remove Trump’s name from ballots, while 56 percent believe states should allow Trump’s name to remain on ballots.
Both Colorado and Maine have disqualified Trump from their respective primary ballots because his actions in the wake of the 2020 election allegedly violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which forbids

In other words, 80% of Democrats oppose democracy.

First of all, we are a constitutional republic. However, “democracy” that Democrats cry about preserving looks nothing like pulling your opponent off the ballot, or lawfare against the opponent who leads you significantly in the polls, nor does it mean stealing elections.

Not a surprise. Dems believe that the right way is the way that THEY want it. The methods do not matter. They are terrified of Trump and believe any means to defeat him is legitimate. Laws do not matter to them. They have proven this repeatedly.
Consider this. Trump was impeached a second time for "incitement of insurrection". He was NOT convicted. It was a pure political hatchet job. To block him from the ballot for insurrection when he specifically was NOT convicted of the crime and NEVER HAS BEEN, is absurd.

Based on a media and political opposition narrative no conviction no charges. I don’t suspect they have a clue what portal to hell that opens

FTA: "The poll, which was taken in the days leading up to the third anniversary of the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot, found that more Republicans now approve of rioters’ actions than they did three years ago."
Interesting question, but exactly who were the rioters? Busloads of people showed up about the same time the pipe bombs were found near the DNC and RNC. On page 5 of Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund's letter to members of Congress, he describes how the violence unfolded after thousands of protestors arrived:
"This mob was like nothing I have seen in my law enforcement career. The group consisted of thousands of well-coordinated, well-equipped violent criminals. They had weapons, chemical munitions, protective equipment, explosives, and climbing gear. A number of them were wearing radio ear pieces indicating a high level of coordination."
Who were these people? Who sent them? Where did they come from? Who paid for the food, lodging, transportation and recruiting of these people? How did it happen that information suggesting big trouble never made it to Sund's office, and who failed in that responsibility? I have no doubt everything Sund wrote has been checked and rechecked. There would be electronic records for all of his claims. Maybe that's why we're not hearing challenges to what he told our electeds back in Feb. 1.
I urge everyone who believes there's more to this story than the MSM would have us believe, to read Sund's detailed letter. The delay in help went on for hours, with bureaucrats refusing to provide the back up necessary to keep the crowd under control. If Dems thought there was an genuine "insurrection" why did they allow it to go on for hours? They saw what was on TV. Why didn't it convince THEM to demand backup for law enforcement?
Sund's letter is below. It takes less than 10 minutes to read.

In the King James Version, in Matthew, 12:25: “And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.”
- is this the presaging statement of things to come?

So exactly WHO is surprised that DEMOCRATS want to stifle the democracy of letting the VOTERS decide who they want to vote for? It’s the same people who brought you election rigging. Real democracy is the furthest thing from their minds. This is how ENEMIES of America act

The Dims believe in a one party system which is their goal. If the useful idiots get there way the real tyranny begins with no way out. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and the kids may learn what that means.

If you allow keeping Trump off the ballot---WHERE DOES IT STOP?
Who gets kept off next time. Which party gets to decide who is kept off?
If the American vote is allowed to be destroyed this country is finished, put a fork in it.

Does anyone wonder if conservatives were asked the same question, what the percentage would be? I would think it would be more than 80% against keeping Joebama on the ticket. Or really, any democrat. They are vile and not in favor of this country.

This was part of Obama's playbook. When he ran for the Illinois senate in 1996 he got all primary opponents booted off the ballot. He subsequently won the general election with more than 80% of the vote against a token Republican candidate and an oddball 3rd party candidate.

The opposition does not get to select their opponent. The people in power wanted division. They got it. They want power and control. Division gives them that. Hard to get rid of them when 60-70% of the population won't work together.

The "Swamp" solution to this dilemma is obvious... treat Trump to the JKF "grassy knoll" treatment.. At best, we can pray that any and all attempts fail and none of his security detail are harmed.
Look at what is obvious: the forces aligned against Trump include the most powerful and connected in the history of mankind. They will stop at nothing, they will do _whatever_ they believe is necessary to kill any populism's leader of an awakening of the serfs and "useless eaters".
2024 is the BIG enchilada. Make of break. (and please, prepare for disruption of services and supplies for at least more than a few days).

Of that 80%, they also believe that the 2020 election was as pure are the wind driven snow and that Biden legitimately got 81 million votes, more than their messiah Obama. For those than know better, well the ends justify the means when it comes to "protecting democracy".
I'll just bet that all those media personalities are immensely pleased with themselves. When the cold Civil War finally goes hot, the journalists and lawyers should be the first to be lined up and blind folded.

Look at this. These people have contempt for a man based on a political assassination tag team of the United States deep state, media outlets and tech moguls. The team went after him "six ways to Sunday," as predicted.
The democrat base still thinks Cross fire Hurricane was real and Donald Trump is false. It had embedded into their empty hearts.
How can that many people be that stupid? How do you reach them?

Knowing how most democrats are human sheep who actually believe that The Sniffer-in-Thief is doing a good job I would've thought that percentage would be higher.
