Nearly three years after authorities foiled a bizarre plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the last defendants accused of taking part go on trial Monday.
Eric Molitor and brothers William Null and Michael Null were among 14 men, described by prosecutors as anti-government extremists, charged in the scheme weeks before the November 2020 election. They were angered by Whitmer’s COVID-19 policies, which shut down schools and restricted the economy, investigators said in court filings.
Once again, we are incredibly lucky they were so stupid.
Weren’t they infiltrated by an FBI agent?
There were multiple informants, and it’s a pretty defensible position that without the FUNDING provided BY the informants this couldn’t of happened.
I’m sure they were all douchebag morons, but seriously go read the details of the case, it’s wild. Here’s an article to start, if you care:

Funding is not a defensible position.
“Hey we’re gonna go do some illegal shit, wanna join? We just need more people.”
If they go out to do it, they committed a crime.
Call it what it was: Terrorism
They’re so afraid of using that word
If they were brown they would and people would nod along accepting it. These people are no different
When someone asks why the Trump indictments “took so long” point them to this.
Conservatism should be outlawed. Period.
What would the even mean?
Easy. Just outlaw overt bigotry, misogyny, antisemitism, homophobia and xenophobia.
Conservatism would effectively be illegal.

In that case liberalism should be outlawed too. Can’t have it both ways.

Outlawing conservatism is essentially outlawing liberalism because outlawing thought is absolutely tyranny.
Conservatives are all wrong about pretty much everything pretty much all of the time, but a core aspect of liberalism is that they’re allowed to be wrong.
Lemmy users are even stupider than reddit users.
It’s like they took the bottom 5% of the communists in reddit and moved them over here
Yeah, at least half the posts in memes aren’t even memes at all. Just cringe statements like a 13 year old newly communist edgelord would make.
Well look at that! Someone named “theyoyomaster” is calling people childish. 🤣
With conservatives, every accusation is a confession!
I mean, I created my standard username when I was starting highschool and haven’t changed it. Considering at the time I was literally being paid to yo-yo, it stuck. If your never ending need to project is that strong and all you have to counter what I’m saying is literally attacking a username then go ahead. Maybe one day you’ll grow up enough to realize that shit like this never convinces 3rd parties of your views.
