Unreal that only one state has bothered to do this. He's a Russian UI, bigot billionaires' puppet, a fucking insurrectionist and spews Nazi propaganda, but hey let's give him another chance to decimate democracy.
I agree with your description of him, but the only thing that's relevant here is the insurrection. It's important not to muddy the waters with the other stuff!
The other stuff is just as relevant because he's dangerous on all fronts. While legally the insurrection gives grounds to disqualify him, everything else, in fact each thing by itself - the racism, ableism, sexism, carrying out the agenda of right wing nutjobs, Russia, should, in a civilized society, make him a political leper. Instead he's a viable candidate, after 4 torturous years of moron, an attempted insurrection, numerous trials, convicted of rape ... and here we are all again.
