Flynn was asked, “Why what happened in Myanmar can’t happen here?”
The crowd at the Texas QAnon conference of treasonous crazy cheered, and Flynn answered, “No reason. I mean, it should happen here.”
Who is going to tell Flynn that members of the military strongly disapproved of Trump and large numbers of them voted for Joe Biden?
Mike Flynn should be in prison right now.
He is advocating for the violent overthrow of the United States government, which is a crime.
It is dangerous to dismiss the QAnon crowd as a bunch of fringe kooks. These people are the personification of the threat to democracy in the United States. They are also the backbone of the Republican Party.
They don’t believe in democracy. QAnon is decades of right-wing conspiracy belief manifested into its logical outcome.
A group of Americans cheered when the idea of a military coup was raised.
A growing segment of the Republican Party is morphing into a threat against the United States government, and they mark Memorial Day weekend by calling for a military coup.
