    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.”

          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

      “thinking differently”

      You poor, poor, persecuted muffin.

      • 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.

        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.

                  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.

          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.
