Not much you can do then.

It's a constitutional amendment, people can't just rewrite it to fit their agenda. That's what the supreme court has illegally done.

Trump also did not engage in an insurrection. Some argue otherwise, but they likely suffer from TDS and are all about "Get Trump."

He did not attend, nor did Trump send a mob to storm the capital.

That is a very absurd perpetuated lie.

Trump to remain on ballots!

The judges have ruled otherwise and most won't touch the subject.

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is designed to safeguard democracy by preventing insurrectionists during a different time in America [Civil War] from holding office. Most scholars agree that disqualifying Trump's candidacy would potentially incite violence or unjustly disenfranchise voters. Scholars and lawyers also note that Trump, while being sworn in as President, did not swear an oath to "support" the Constitution but rather to "preserve, protect and defend" it - A distinction found in Article II which suggests that the founding fathers intended for a more stringent criteria when it comes to barring presidents from office.

Furthermore, Section 3 specifically refers to prohibiting individuals from offices they currently occupy, not future electoral bids. This means that while debates continue about barring Trump from another presidential term, the language does not explicitly prevent him from running for president again. This significantly undermines any legal argument against Trump's potential campaign under Section 3, regardless of its controversy.
