It makes sense that social media went crazy when the Colorado Supreme Court announced on Tuesday that Donald Trump would not be able to compete in the state's 2024 presidential primary.

The decision essentially means that Trump's name might not appear on the state's 2024 presidential primary ballot, even though he will surely appeal it.

Unsurprisingly, users of X, the original name for Twitter, were highly divided by the Colorado Court's decision.

A lot of individuals were pleased with the decision.

And other people? Not in that way. The decision was attributed by Trump, in particular, to "Democrat Party leaders" who were "in a state of paranoia over the growing, dominant lead President Trump has amassed in the polls."

Eric Trump, Trump's second-born son, declared that the decision was “unAmerican and the typical playbook of the modern democratic party.”

Vivek Ramaswamy said the verdict “is what an *actual* attack on democracy looks like,” and vowed to “withdraw from the Colorado GOP primary unless Trump is also allowed to be on the state’s ballot.”

He also “demanded” that Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie and Nikki Haley “do the same immediately.”
