Why are we letting this guy run for president?
Because the people in charge of enforcing and interpreting the law are ideologically aligned with him.
Because we are still a democratic state and not an authoritarian state, yet.
I mean Carlson is already feeding them propaganda on how the country would be if it was like Russia. Such a wonderful, low cost country with amazing bread.
The price of democracy includes traitors, unfortunately.
We actually have a constitutional amendment barring insurrectionists like him from being President, but the Supreme Court is likely to side with him because most of the justices want a far right dictatorship.
So it stands including traitors, unfortunately. Until the law is enforced they are included. :(
