        They were definitely not, you’ve got to be shitting me. They wanted their glorious Cheeto Man to still be president after he lost a democratic election

            They also did a bit more than speech and assembly, if it were just that we wouldn’t be imprisoning them. It doesn’t matter what you believe, if you shoot your friend because you think he’s a zombie and then he turns out not to be, that’s still a crime
