Democrats deploy ‘extreme legal measures’ in bid to block Trump’s runFormer President Trump has yet to hold his first campaign rally since announcing his White House bid last week, but Democrats are throwing out obstacles to block his path to a second term. They sure are scared of all this democracy breaking out that they keep claiming is in such jeopardy. Sure looks like they are the ones subverting and 'legally' insurrecting the democracy they claim to be 'protecting.' This is is abuse of power, it’ll backfire spectacularly. If the democrats had a good platform to stand on none of these disgusting abuse of power would be necessary. Obviously they are just a bunch of parasite gangsters. If 71% of Democrats are confident that Biden would beat Trump in 2024 (according to a recent poll) why not let him run?
