That’s the neat part: Convicted felons ARE excluded from most public service jobs like being a teacher or a mayor. It was widely believed that this included the presidency until the Supreme Court decided it somehow didn’t.

He outright said it. I can’t find the tweet just now, it was from quite a while back. But essentially, he said the left was mean to him so he went all in on conservatism. I think it was not so much “mean” as “willing to call him out for obvious lies and weird nonsense” like the time he called a guy who rescued children from a cave a pedophile. I also don’t think he was really as left as he claimed to begin with, he was just following what seemed to be the trend to get people to like him.

When you get called out, you can learn from it or you can double down. He doubled down harder than anyone in history, and somehow it has yet to come back and bite him like it would most. Here’s hoping it does sooner than later.
