“Y’know I watched that yesterday, and I made a small statement on social media last night. I just, I’ve come to the conclusion that this is the new Covid for 2024.  In 2020, they had us locked down.  We couldn’t get out and vote.  We could do all this absentee voting.  Everything was built around fear.  So now the new fear and what the Democrat [sic] Party is trying to do here is, is to tear Trump down and say he’s unqualified to run for this office, Jerry Carl, Republican Alabama Congressman, says disregarding the fact that the Constitution disqualifies Trump, not Democrats.  “That is not their job to determine that.  It’s we the voters.”

Well, no, Jerry.  No one will die from Trump’s disqualification.  (More may die at the hands of insane MAGA cult members, however.) The Constitution explicitly lays out qualifications for people who can run for President, and one of those qualifications is never having violated his previously sworn oath of office.  Trump did that, so he is therefore disqualified.  And just a reminder:  In 2020, Trump was president during the lockdowns and he was the one promoting fear of virtually everything, saying “only [he could] save us.”  Democrats were working to expand access to ballots for eligible voters while the GOP filed scores of lawsuits around the country to prevent people from voting and later, having their votes counted.
