The bunch who were so outraged that Trump "threatened democracy" -- that is, the right of the people to select for themselves the person they want to lead them -- now wants to prevent roughly half the electorate from being able to select for themselves the person they want to lead them. Something like this could give hypocrisy a bad name.
I agree with you. Trump's behavior post election and on January 6 itself was outrageous and dangerous but it was not an insurrection and it is maddening to have his behavior excused by so many because the Democrats overreach again and again. An attempt to bar him under the 14th amendment from running would be disastrous.
