People actually downvoted this.
Some people still actually believe that trump is a good person, despite no evidence at all to support that belief.
This is the actual take.
They'll point ot the Bible. Noah was a drunk; King David killed a man to get at his wife; Solomon had thousands of concubines.
God often picks bad men to do his works.
Once conservative christians discover that there's a new testament, they'll blow a fucking gasket.
But he is! A good chunk of meat when Famine arrives at the doorstep.

use him for bait.

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.
Lol…. Being a card carrying Q supporter is far more than just “thinking differently.”
By the time the FBI is at your door you have gone beyond "wrong think".
Forget Snowden, or Manning? Or many others?
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
They were people hunted by the FBI.

"thinking differently"
You poor, poor, persecuted muffin.
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.
So it wasnt treason then right?
Legally? No. In the common parlance? Yes.
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.
It’s a meme. And I’l didn’t make the meme.
I can think of them as no different than treasonous traitors. To me you’re splitting hairs. In court it matters. In the view of public opinion, not so much.
I also think people who give traitors cover, are not much better.
Thanks!
You are using the words "treasonous traitors" even though none of the jan 6 rioters were considered treasonous nor traitors. Its just as libelous as me calling you a traitor for trying to usurp national law.
Stop using the words. They have meaning that implies they can and should be put to death. If you dont believe that then dont use the words. Im not trying to defend their actions, im trying to defend the words. Just call them insurrectionists. Dont call for their death.
In court there’s a distinction. We’re not in court.
I also think confederates were treasonous traitors. Sorry dude.
Cry. Or don’t. Doesn’t matter to me.
Im not saying this is a court man. I'm just saying your word choice is based on ignorance by choice.
Confederates were tried for treason, but nice gotcha attempt.
Nobody is crying. Just trying to see if I can change your mind on the idea that word definitions matters, but I feel like I can't. You have a good day.
The distinction of treason and insurrection is domestic vs foreign. It’s a legal distinction. And it’s a distinction I don’t care about. And you’re not going to convince me that it’s morally wrong to see them as equal in terms of a threat to our country.
I’m not writing a textbook. If I was, I’d say “insurrection.” Sure.
To me personally they’re the same in pile of shit. And they belong in the same prison.
Im sure you feel the same for the whole CHAZ/CHOP thing. They took over several blocks of the city and claimed to independence of the united states... taking over federal land and claiming independence by force is textbook treason.
I am with you here that they belong in prison, but not dead. That is all.
Killing people who commit treason is still killing people.
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.
You might not be Q, but you're at least P. Your stupidity is almost there, keep going.
P for penis
thanks for the iucking fnput pat fussy
I had a stroke trying to read this. But yes. Pat fussy indeed.
The great mind's username was pat fussy.
The other comment just said "Thanks for the input, pat fussy."
You'll note they swapped the first letters of a couple words, just like in the OP's username.
No one had trouble with that, but thanks Captain obvious
He very clearly didn't get the reference. Nice attempt at snark though, keep working on it, practice makes perfect!
Wow, are you a rock?
No a rock is smarter
I'd ask what you chuckleheads think the purpose of "Pat Fussy indeed" was in the comment, but, quite frankly, the only thing worse than talking to morons is talking to asshole morons, so... Bye.
How deep does this habbit role go?
I know what you did lol.
