      Looks like they’re making a Qanon joke. People sucked into that conspiracy think that the “good guys” (Trump and his ilk) are waging a secret war with the evil “deep state” for control of America. Once the “good guys” gain the upper hand and take control of the government they believe that there will be military tribunals not unlike Nuremberg after WW2 where the “evil deep state pedophiles” will be sentenced to death for their crimes.

      It’s extremely unhinged; the people that believe it are dangerous to our democracy and those around them because they can and will justify any action as necessary to fight the “deep state”.

        Ahhh… ok that makes sense (in a nonsensical way). I hadn’t heard of the tribunals because I prefer to surround myself with reality. Thnx for explaining.
