      That was their point. It doesn’t apply to the average person because the average person hasn’t taken an oath to the constitution, but politicians who have served terms in office have, so it applies to them

          Telling people to go back and read the nonsense you wrote doesn’t make it sound less nonsensical, it’s just nonsense we’ve read twice.

      And if you participate in insurrection against the country you’ll be disqualified from taking that oath
