As far as I know, he was never charged with insurrection let alone convicted of it.

Seems like you made that up.

Yes, he is an unsentenced felon for being guilty of some bookkeeping errors as a result of a novel suit brought by partisan prosecutors. I doubt many could even explain what he is “guilty” of and Americans saw through the ploy and elected him anyway.

Among the reason I didn’t vote for Trump, was my fear he would engage in the same type of lawfare he was victimized by.

Weaponizing the justice system against your political opponents is not something I support, regardless of who is doing it.
