"He said he WOULD HAVE done a coup, not that he WOULD DO it, totally different!!!1!"
It is totally different.. if that is what he even said, which he didn't.
Which he did. You're just too dense to understand transitive properties of words. Like how him saying the slate electors and you not understanding that actually would end up being a coup. That's straight up an anti democracy system nobody voted for. What he's advocating for is a coup of the current form of government. That's what that fucking word means you trolling little dipshit.
You mean state's choosing an alternate form of election which is within their right? The constitution does not mandate how state elections work.
There's nothing in the constitution about how child pornography is illegal, but it is. You understand how laws work, right?
This is my last response to feeding the troll.
You're welcome to reply with more deranged, unhinged, shit though, that's been your thing so far.
It means forget the votes, and forget democracy. In other words, do a coup. The thing you are adamantly arguing against.
I hope someone's paying you to spread disinformation, and you're not simply a blithering imbecile.
A coup would be a violent and unlawful seizure of power. My reading of slate electors is that they wanted to change the state election processes which is within their rights as state government. The constitution does not mandate how state's conduct things.
NO THE FUCK IT ISNT YOU FUCKING MORON. NOW ALL YOU'RE DOING IS PARROTING FUCKING ALEX JONES' BULLSHIT. I HEARD THE SAME EPISODE AND YOU AND HE ARE DEAD FUCKING WRONG.
Holy shit, that's what you are. You're one of the Alex Jones idiots. Now it makes sense.
Yeah, good luck with any of your nonsense holding up in court. You're worse than the sovereign citizen people. At least they mostly keep to themselves with all their made up nonsense.
Not like you. You're here just showing your ass in public.
A coup doesn’t have to be violent. It can utilize existing rules if it breaks their spirit or the ability to change them.
A coup is a forceful seizure of governmental power that subverts the existing system of power. That includes shit like this.
A coup can be military but also from other bodies.
In this case it would be a self-coup since a lawfully elected power would be attempting to maintain power by illegal means.
Yeah, he'd do a coup. Thanks for repeating it. Cry some more about it.
Random note, whose sockpuppet are you? Get too butthurt because your last one got downvoted to hell?
Why are you being anti homosexual?
How was that anti lgbtq?
He gotta post something, because he doesn't have an argument.
Butthurt is an anti homosexual slur
Eh, doing a bit of googling there doesn't seem to be a direct line to homophobia and indeed lots of things point to spanking being the origin.
Regardless I will stop using it if some think it means that, since that is what language is.
I am fine not castigating OP as a homophobe without more evidence
Hi I'm an elgibbety, butthurt ain't a slur, that person's just being a disingenuous twatmungler.
Ooh twatmungler, I like that
yeah that's going into the lexicon
4 day old sad troll account striking out hard :^(
how do you not realize this is a coup? dear god man, how does discarding voted electors for a new slate based on party lines not equal a coup?
Nice Dick
