The 14th amendment prohibits people who did insurrection, but none of it counts if people don't enforce it.
Even if we did have an uprising, and won, there'd be maga hats for decades whining about how they did nothing wrong. The roots of this problem are deep.
My understanding is that the 14th amendment only triggers if Congress votes to exercise it. I wrote my reps and senator before the election. I'm heading my understanding of it on my understanding of that lawsuit from one state trying to take Trump off the ballot.
