But I think the picture indicates that 45 is the pre-requisite, the pen of the author.
I hate to argue with you, kallisti. Who am I kidding. I love to argue. :)
Q is saying here, that without the people behind him Washington's sword would have been futile. Paine red-pilled a nation in his time. Just as we (and Q) are doing.
Q exhorts us to FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT and tells us that the PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER.
Without the support of the people, the sword of Trump would be raised in vain. Our Donald is Washington in this scenario. Not a simple pen pusher.
We wield the pen of Thomas Paine. Paine woke the people, just as we are doing. We make Trump's sword possible. Without the people, he, like Washington, cannot prevail.
I am 188% confident in this interpretation. For post #1776, Qanon invoked our American revolution and spoke of the parallels between then and now.
Pen/Keyboard
Paine/Q,Anons,FReeQS,Others
Washington/Trump
It's a very simple message.

Bring the PAIN
Bring the PAINE
We never argue, Bags, why would we? And why would we ascribe only one meaning to a Q post, much less #1776?
The picture hadn’t loaded yet when I first read the quote and my interpretation was the same as yours. But later, after seeing the picture of THE pen and that signature, I realized also that with any other President, any raised sword would have been in vain or to our continued detriment.
In this scenario, we are the MINUTE MEN.
