Screenshot of a social post by Patrick S. Tomlinson ('@stealthygeek' on the social platform 'X'). The post says: 'We did. Then he launched an insurrection to overthrow the results of us beating him at the ballot box. That's why he's in court. Hope this <br />helps.' And includes a quote repost of the following post: 'I think we have to beat Trump at the ballot box, not in court.'

A fair and important point. The drafters of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment understood why you needed to keep dangerous insurrectionists off the ballot in the first place.
