The moves by self-unaware Democrat officials (and some judges in certain areas) to save "democracy" by obliterating the democratic process and rule of law are continuing. The latest example comes from Maine, where the Secretary of State has unilaterally decided that a GOP candidate should not appear on the ballot because of a crime he was never convicted of or even charged with:

As in Colorado, Secretary Bellows stayed the effect of her decision pending court rulings. pic.twitter.com/Aqb7IqpKnh

You know how the Colorado case worked out: Trump will appear on the ballot.
They do it this way knowing it'll be enough to gain hero status on the Left and earn an adoring interview on MSNBC, and that's exactly what happened:
Left-wing Secretary of State goes on left-wing network to explain why her left-wing ideological decision to kick leading GOP presidential candidate off primary ballot for a crime for which he hasn't been charged or convicted is akshully her honor-bound duty. pic.twitter.com/1y2hKZmcuO

Democrats: We can't protect democracy if it's possible that our opponents could win. https://t.co/8BIBSGVVXA

The Maine Secretary of State used to have a different motto, not all that long ago.
What a hashtag. https://t.co/s6s68brlnb

This tweet from 2020 is amazing, but not surprising considering the level of hypocrisy coming from the TDS crowd:
I only lasted five minutes more than Brandon. Tapping out. But excited to vote for Biden as soon as I can. Let’s restore civility. #LetThePeopleDecide

"#LetThePeopleDecide"? Oh the irony!
This didn’t age well

How it started vs. how it's going:
Then: “Let the people decide”

Now: “I’ll decide for the people” https://t.co/a74QF6La8t
And these are the people who want everybody to believe Trump is the authoritarian "threat to democracy." The projection is off the charts!
