(182,858 posts)The basis of this comes from a law they believe passed in 1871 which secretly turned the U.S. into a corporation. The sovereign citizen movement, therefore, believes that every president after Ulysses S. Grant is illegitimate.

(16,936 posts)reading stuff like that in the Newsweek article actually makes my brain hurt - and leaves me distraught for what we have running wild in this country - and having it all amplified by the likes of Trump, Faux Spews, and Q-anon.

The only wrong thing here is the sovereign citizens' movement's strategy and tactics.
That corporate money would be behind the Big Lie, planning and execution of this seditious insurrection is consistent with the 1871 law and SCOTUS rulings, monopolists, money in politics, money stalking politicians, and the larger, richer enemy The People still have to continue to fend off.
Because a whole cult is okay with what happened January 6.
They just hate that they got caught. So do their corporate donors.

(1,687 posts)In Idiot America Charlie Pierce talked about cranks in America. What has happened is that the interwebs have given massive megaphones to these whackjobs. Before they would have had to content themselves with standing and shouting on a street corner or writing letters to the editor. Not any more.
On a more serious side is Traditionalism. That is dangerous.

If you believe them, spread them, and plan to carry out some insane action based on them, then it's not.
Trump is resurrected as President March the 6th? Sure, why not! Believe it if you want!
I'm hoping law enforcement across the country will be ready, with clear instructions to hold the line with live ammo.
Q blood running in the streets may get the message across.
