    Which is exactly why I know the whole “Clintons murdering people” is a conspiracy.

      What train of logic led from “Trump is still alive” to “the Clintons must be murdering people”?

        I think they mean that if it were actually true and Republicans could prove it the Clintons would be dead? Not sure it’s a little hard to parse.

        I believe what they mean is “If the Clintons really are having people killed then what the fuck is Trumpleton doing still walking around?” And seriously, if anything righties cook up in their fear-addled minds was remotely true there’d be so many more dead people in both the citizenry and amongst politicians.

            I think the word ‘conspiracy’ here is being conflated to mean ‘ridiculous, and false, conspiracy theory’. Conspiracies happen, but the word itself has the association with those who theorize and speculate on the absurd. I can say I don’t know for sure what the original commenter meant, but I think it is implied they meant they ‘know the Clinton’s murdering people isn’t true’.

      Conservatives know this is a lie. They only make such accusations as it would suit them to be true, in order to justify what they plan to do.

      I also find it odd that his best chance of going to prison isn’t even related to the fact he tried to stage a coup.
      Any other person, it would’ve been treason and locked up for life (if not a death sentence) for even trying - no question needed.

        Well, there’s also a weirdly huge number of people in places of power that’re on his side, and there’s nothing to be done about it.
