Maine barred Donald Trump from the primary ballot Thursday, making it the second state in the country to block the former president from running again under a part of the Constitution that prevents insurrectionists from holding office.

The decision by Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (D) is sure to be appealed. The Colorado Supreme Court last week found Trump could not appear on the ballot in that state, and the Colorado Republican Party has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case. The nation’s high court could resolve for all states whether Trump can run again.

    They most certainly are not. They have no compassion, no intelligence, no critical thinking, no love, and no respect for human life.

    They are mammals. Even primates. I’ll give you that. But they are sub-human.

    They have caused unimaginable pain and suffering and they enjoy it all and run on hatred.

      All of the things you listed are attributes humans have. There is no such thing as sub-humans, you’re thinking of regular humans.

      Trump supporters are easily fooled idiots but they are fellow humans nonetheless. Thinking of a group of people as “sub-humans” oppens the door to treating that group as inferior and not worthy of respect which leads to fascist tendencies. Please be aware of what your words mean.

        I’m aware. That group is inferior and not worthy of respect. They are a cancer to our society and we should be making huge efforts to cure them.

          They are not inferior, they are badly educated and thus easily blinded. It’s not inherent, it’s circumstantial that they’re idiots.
