      There’s a 13yo leading the JFK cult. You can’t get stupider than the people who latched onto the Q movement.

        … don’t say that.

        The moment you say “can’t get stupider than…” the world says “hold my beer”

            I remember when the idea of Trump even being taken seriously as a viable candidate was a laughable absurdity.

            I think we all forgot how absurd the universe can be.

      Yes I did thanks. Not a Q member I just hate this sort of “we need to kill people who think differently” mentality

      Edit: holy shit you guys are stuck on semantics. I didnt even know “think different” was some sort of dog whistle for you guys. You know what i meant and you decided it didnt matter. 3 brain cells collectively fighting over a word choice.

            Yeah. I agree that Trump’s little insurrection was treason and that his lackeys are terrorists, but claiming that the FBI is some sort of judge of morality is incredibly daft.

            How exactly are those people relevant to this conversation

            No one is talking about them here at all and your just mentioning them to try and turn your comments away from the justified negative criticism they are getting

        It’s called treason. “People who think differently” is such a stupid and misused phrase.

          It’s actually called sedition and/or insurrection. That’s why none of the participants have been charged with treason. They didn’t betray the country to a foreign power. They just betrayed the country for a domestic power.

            You’re right. I meant insurrection. I said treason even though I knew it was insurrection.

          How many of the jan 6th rioters were charged with treason? Please elucidate me on this as I actually dont know.

            None, but that’s because what they did fits the definition of sedition and/or insurrection, not treason since they weren’t betraying the country to a foreign power.

            None. They were charged with insurrection. Technically not the same. It’s a minor distinction in my mind. But you’re technically correct. Domestic vs foreign. Not important to me.

              The distinction matters. One qualifies for death penalty and needs to be used with very clear motives. If you guys are calling for the death of treasonous peoples, you have to recognize that you are saying your view supercedes judicial review… which can be just as misconstrued as a form of sedition.

                I am not even down with capital punishment. Just life in prison for both insurrection and treason. In court and in history books the terms matter quite a bit. In terms of my personal opinion, insurrectionist, and treasonous people are the same. That’s all.

                  The meme specifially calls for the death of treasonous people and you (along with the rest of the commentors) are agreeing with the sentiment. Its either you agree that your view matters more than judicial review or you can stop using the word. These words have meaning; dont lump everything together and call for death just because it suits whatever agenda you may have.

            Yes. I’m not a fan of capital punishment. But they’re not just prior with different opinions. They’re people who tried to end democracy because their guy lost. I’d much rather them rot in prison for eternity tbh.

      I believe Trump’s legal team was referred to as the Kraken. They were going to be a powerful force if only there had been any facts to support their claims.

        It was from Sidney Powell. She filed some baseless lawsuit regarding the election and claimed she was going to “release the kraken”.

        I think the Q crowd latched on to that and it was just particularly hashtag-able.
