So five years in the slam for each of them.

“They” because “We are legion.”

“It” would be a lot more grammatically appropriate, if the Left wasn’t doing all the approval.

has been charged with felony theft after they allegedly stole a bag
= = =

My brain, after many years of reading and speaking English just cannot process ‘they’ as singular.

But, now I interpret ‘they’ Brinton and his demons.

Think like that, and the headline will make sense. I can even refer to Brinton (et.al.) as they.

Kind of like ‘trans’ means ‘fake’.
