Biden being fine with a court following the constitution is not insurrection. It is literally the opposite.
Trump was president of the united states and had a constitutionally mandated duty to take care that laws be faithfully executed, and that includes ensuring the integrity of the election process.
Trump, like Biden, was just being fine with people following the constitution, and not fine with them 'not following the constitution'.
This is of course, completely arbitrary and lacking any form of check or balance, because that's the point. No due process, no checks and balances.

This is the level of dishonesty you have to resort to to even pretend it's the same.
The only level of dishonesty required is to embrace what Democrats have here, the concept that you can disenfranchise half the country and strip citizens of their constitutionally guaranteed rights without due process, without any fact in law, from a court seizing jurisdiction that clearly does not belong to it.
As long as you the process is completely devoid of any sort of grounding or constraint, it can do anything it bloody well pleases.
Republicans have no more and no less justification for stripping Biden from the ballot than the left does with Trump. As I remind you, Trump is being judged by a court for his actions as president, without due process. That court is violating the separation of powers by interfering in the decision making process and constitutionally mandated prerogative of the executive to see laws executed, and its violating the 5th amendment by stripping rights with no due process, and probably shredding the rest of the constitution in every way short of quartering soldiers in Mar-a-Lago because they just forgot the 3rd exists. Republicans can make all the exact same claims against Biden on the same basis. Biden, as president and as vice president, gave aid and comfort to our enemies, supported insurrectionists, committed high crimes and misdemeanors, whatever justification you want to drum up no matter how baseless or unproven. Because proof isn't necessary. No burden of proof, no due process, no presumption of innocence, no free and fair elections. Biden must be stripped from the ballot
because I said so, and I'm unilaterally usurping that power
