I wish this old piece of shit would just get tired of the (100% self-created) obstacles and give up. I know, wishful thinking.
i think he feeds directly off all the attention, whether it be ‘good’ or ‘bad’.
That definitely appears correct. The more people hate him, the more he feels compelled to shit on them. Which, if he weren’t a morally repugnant piece of trash, would be somewhat admirable, maybe.
He’s an energy vampire like Colin Robinson in What We Do In The Shadows.
I’m in Illinois, how do i support this?

There is a petition to sign, just scroll down a bit, it is the first point of action.
How many states will it take before Trump can’t numerically win the election?
Most states doing it are blue states with no electoral splits. So it doesn’t mean much. The GOP will install him as their candidate via undemocratic means anyway.
Most of the states removing him right now are strongly democratic, so it won’t have much of an impact on the electoral college right now. Mostly it’s just going to reduce the popular vote numbers, which don’t mean a thing.
The most interesting removal so far is Maine, since Trump won one electoral vote there from the 2nd district. If it only happens in blue states, it probably doesn’t meaningfully affect his chances.
He’d need to be off the ballot in 270 EV worth of states to mathematically be unable to win. That would be very, very exceptional circumstances.
Misleading title. Its a democratic political group, not a voter referendum or anything.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Groups of voters from Illinois and Massachusetts on Thursday filed motions to remove Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot, adding to the list of states where the former president faces a challenge to his candidacy under the 14th Amendment’s so-called insurrectionist ban.
In Illinois, the challenge filed in conjunction with the liberal advocacy group Free Speech For People, asks the Illinois Board of Elections to hold a hearing on the matter and bar Trump from appearing on both the primary and general election ballots because of his role in the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack.
“Donald J. Trump, through his words and actions, after swearing an oath as an officer of the United States to support the Constitution, engaged in insurrection or rebellion, or gave aid and comfort to its enemies, as defined by Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment,” the voters wrote in their petition to the board of elections.
The same advocacy group on Thursday filed a challenge to Trump’s eligibility to appear on Massachusetts ballots for both the primary and general presidential elections in the state.
The Oregon Supreme Court could soon rule on another bid to remove Trump from that state’s primary and general election ballots because of his role in the January 6 insurrection.
Judges in Michigan and Minnesota, however, rejected bids to block Trump from appearing on the primary ballot in those states.
