If you will indulge me a little more, I'd like to share another element of the conspiracy theories surrounding inauguration, because we're hearing a LOT about Trump becoming the *19th* president of the United States

(no threats of violence here)
1/

OK SO - this truly bizarre story says that in 1871, the US ceased to be a nation and instead became a corporation that belongs to the city of London (attn @SadiqKhan)
AND if you see an American flag with gold fringe, well that represents the corporation NOT the country 2/

This, they say, is why the rich are privileged and the average guy can't get ahead. They do not explain why the City of London would do this to us, their American Corporation, but this is how we get the victim narrative introduced 3/

SO, the next step is that "Biden, Harris, Pence, Pelosi, etc." must be arrested before Inauguration for Crimes. We do not know who else is included in "etc" because, I suspect, figuring that out would take too much research on the part of whomever came up with this nonsense 4/

They do acknowledge that Trump's term will end and, since there will be no President, the CORPORATION will be dissolved and we revert back to being a country. The "military" takes over then, BUT… 5/

…apparently only the National Guard and "United States Marine Corp." count because they took an oath to the country and not the Corporation -sorry Army, Air Force, and Navy(maybe?). Then what? 6/

Then "People will then have irrefutable proof that the election was stolen by foreign entities and that Trump was chosen by a landslide. Trump then assumes the presidency as the 19th president of the United States"
They do not explain how we get from Marine Corp to this point 7/

Anyway, since no presidents count since this Corporation was formed, that makes Trump the 19th president. There is much discussion if this means he can have 2 more terms since the first wouldn't count. I'm surprised at where they bring in a little bit of the constitution tbh 8/

This apparently happens on March 4th because it used to be Inauguration day (I have a legit source to share here finally!) loc.gov/item/today-in-… 9/

So is this just what the MA GA types would call "hopium" (a fun story to tell yourself to keep hope alive)? It is more than that! LOTS of people think this is going to happen. Here's one of their memes… 10/

And here's some discussion from a few places. The facebook post with the main story is circulating all over Telegram. There are videos that read it aloud. 11/

Why'd I bring you here in the first place (other than that I need to share this for my mental health)? THIS is why they say Trump was stealing stuff from the White House! B/c the stuff belongs to the country, not the corp, and he's moving it to the NEW WH (location unknown)😩/end
